The founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministries International, Reverend Isaac Owusu-Bempah, has opened up about his unique fascination with animals, particularly eagles, revealing that he keeps several of the majestic birds in his home.
In a recent interview with broadcaster Dan Kwaku Yeboah, shared online, Rev. Owusu-Bempah, disclosed that he owns ten large eagles, which he houses in a specially constructed enclosure at his new residence to provide them with enough space to fly.
“Eagles are very hard to come by, in fact they are rare. They live in the wild, so it’s not common to find them in homes. But I have ten huge eagles,” he said. “I love animals. I have parrots and doves which I bought from the U.S., and some of my eagles are from Africa. I also keep peacocks.”
He explained that his deep admiration for the eagle stems from the bird’s strength, power, and symbolism—qualities he finds spiritually significant.
However, his journey with the powerful birds has not been without its challenges. Rev. Owusu-Bempah recalled a painful lesson he learned after the death of the first eagle he ever owned, due to a lack of knowledge on how to properly care for it.
“The first eagle I had was as big as a turkey,” he recalled. “We fed it meat in the morning, afternoon, and evening. But since it wasn’t flying around, the food couldn’t digest properly, and the bird died.”
Following the incident, he sought expert advice from a veterinarian and conducted further research online. He learned that eagles in the wild do not eat daily and require flight to aid digestion.
“Now we feed them once every three days, and we make sure not to overfeed them—especially if they’re not flying much. That’s what keeps them healthy,” he explained.
