First bald eagle chicks in Chicago in over 100 years!

I live in the Chicago area so was very excited to see this! There have also been numerous sightings of bald eagles in the northern suburbs. I have a second home on the shores of lake Winnebago about an hours drive north of Milwaukee and a pair of eagles set up home there a few years ago - last year there were at least four eagles flying around in the spring - two mature and two juvenile but I think the juveniles have left the area.

Anyways I just wanted to mention this because groups like FOBBV providing these nest cams have encouraged conservation which has led to the growing population of these birds across the country!

Question about sitting wall

Homeowner here. About 16 years ago I had this patio installed including two pillars and six sitting walls. About 8 years ago one of the sitting walls toppled over - I assumed some tree roots pushed it up and over so I just paid someone to remove it all together.

Now the wall that sat next to the one that previously fell over has toppled after leaning for a few years (see pictures 1 and 2)- and two of the walls on the other side of the patio have started leaning (see picture 4).

My question is can I take apart the pavers and reassemble the wall? If so can I just chisel them apart? And how should I prepare the base so this doesn’t happen again?

Or am I cooked and I should just resign myself to not having a sitting wall?
