..::THE EAGLE::..[spyrate] by Sancata 2010/09/22 14:42
I love writing about animals. Flying birds,land animals, water animals and so on. My favourite bird is the eagle.
I love this bird so much, we all know that an eagle can't be kept as a pet and asuch thats not why i like this bird. I like the eagle just because of its qualities. If u have the time, take it and read this very carefuly, maybe at the end u will have to like this bird Eagle.
Eagles are large birds of prey
which are members of the bird
family Accipitridae, and belong
to several genera which are not
necessarily closely related to
each other.
Golden Eagles can be found in
the United States and Canada,
nine more in Central and South
America, and three in Australia.
[u]Description:

Eagles are different from many
other birds of prey mainly by
their larger size of 5 to 15 kg, more powerful
build, and heavier head and
beak. Even the smallest eagles,
like the Booted Eagle which is
comparable in size to a Common
Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk,
have relatively longer and more
evenly broad wings, and more
direct, faster flight. [i]eagles can fly from facebook to 2wap without petch on any other site. .lol. That was a joke, but its to discribe how far an eagle can fly[i/] Most eagles
are larger than any other
raptors apart from the vultures.
Species named as eagles range
in size from the South Nicobar
Serpent-eagle, at 500 g (1.1 lb)
and 40 cm (16 in), to the 6.7
, the 100 cm (39 in) Philippine
Eagle.
Like all birds of prey, eagles
have very large powerful
hooked beaks for tearing flesh
from their prey, strong
muscular legs, and powerful
talons. They also have extremely
keen eyesight which enables
them to spot potential prey
from a very long distance.
This keen microscopic eyesight is primarily
contributed by their extremely
large pupils which ensure
minimal diffraction (scattering)
of the incoming light. An eagle can sight so far that they can see there prediators and prey before time
. While other flying birds are hiding from the sun, the eagle is busy flying in the sky. Rather the sunray helps to brieghten its eye sight.
Eagles build their nests, called
eyries, in tall trees, on high
cliffs or mountains. Many species lay two
eggs, but the older, larger chick
frequently kills its younger
sibling once it has hatched. The
dominant chick tends to be the
female, as they are bigger than
the male. The parents take no
action to stop the killing.
The Eagle trains its youger siblings to be hard. The Eagle teach the young ones how to fly by pushing it down from the mountain or hiegh try, but still watch it as it falls, if its young one keep falling without opening the wing to fly the Eagle will immidiatly fly down and pick the young one by its wing, Very brave in doing that. This is what the eagle will do for reveral weeks untill the young one learn to fly then live on its own.
These futures makes this bird very hard to be caught by hunters,
Its far sight ability,
Relatively scars cus they hatch just few and might even use the young ones as meal.
And they live far far in the forest an on hiegh places.
NOW HAVE U COME TO LIKE OR HATE THIS BIRD EAGLE? -ngee-

OMG! There are still many more characteristics and habits about these majestic birds, than described here. But i commend you Spyrate, a job well done here! Did you know that the African Eagle can stay in the air for 6 hours without flapping it's wings even once? The "ride" the hot air pockets. Eagles will only eat their young, when the chicks have a disease, or a deformity. There is an Egyptian Eagle, that mainly live on snakes. They remove the snake poison sacs gently, and then pierce it against the sticks around their nest, and spread the poison to ward off lice and rodents. The Fish Eagle can reach a speed up to 190 kph, while diving towards it's prey
