“Though I’m still finding my footing, I wanted to share some glorious creatures I had the chance to spend an afternoon with,” Sharon captioned the Sept. 12 Instagram video. “The connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence. They’ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It’s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.”
She continued, “I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way. ✌️❤️”
