Understanding the giant carnivorous bird known as the

Eagles, large-sized prey birds, dubbed the "sky lord" live in high mountains and primeval forests. Eagles are very strong and mighty. In many cultures, eagle is a symbol of strength, courage, foresight and immortality.

Eagles are a large predatory bird of the Ung, Bird and Accipitridae families. They live in every place with high mountains and primeval forests have not been cut down by humans such as the coast of Australia, Indonesia, and Africa . but mainly Eurasian continent with about 60 species, the remaining 11 species found on the remaining continents include 2 species in the North American Continent, 9 species in Central and South America and 3 species in Australia.

There are many different characteristics of different species of eagles among each other, but the highlights are the color and size of each species. The largest eagle has a body length of over 1m and weighs 7kg. The smallest species is only 0.4m long and weighs more than 0.5kg. Females are usually 25% larger than males and heavier than males.

According to some unproven documents, the eagle has a wingspan of more than 3m and weighs up to 30kg. In fact, the eagle is smaller than that. Their wingspan is only 1.5m to 2m long.

Their main food is small animals ranging from bat to size to the size of a Philippine deer depending on their location. For example, in Luzon Island, the main food is monkeys, birds, flying foxes, fish and Mindanao island are lemurs, snakes, lizards . even they eat ungulates such as pig , puppy. From above, eagles can descend with lightning speed to capture and quickly defeat their prey.

Eagles often nest in mountains or tall trees. Their nest is very large and every year they spoil their new branches to make their nest more stable than before. The nest is where females lay eggs. Each birth, the bird gives birth to 2 eggs. Since parents are only able to raise a young bird, there is usually a fight between two young birds. Any child who wins will be raised until maturity.

Steller Sea Eagle is the largest of nearly 100 eagle species worldwide. Their weight is up to 10kg. The nest of Steller sea eagles is about 15-20m high, built on large trees (up to 150m high, 2.5m in diameter). Breeding season is usually in February - March, and eggs are laid in April - May.

Eagles have an average life expectancy of about 70 years, which can be considered as one of the animals with the highest life expectancy.But before reaching this age, the eagle experienced a harsh and painful time.

At the age of 40, the eagle mine became weak. The coat becomes too thick and heavy, it is difficult to fly fast and fly high into the air.

This is the time when the eagle must make two decisions: Waiting to die or having to undergo a painful molting lasting 150 days.

At the eagle nest on the top of the mountain, it will smash the beak into the cliff until it breaks off. When the mine was newly formed, it began to break all the claws.

When the new claw is strong enough, he pulls out each hair until it is smooth and waiting for new feathers to form. A painful molting process . but certainly without a resilient will will not be able to overcome.

Not only that, the eagle is also known as a smart animal and is ready to face the challenge, best demonstrated by the way they confront each storm.

Unlike all species that fled the storm, the eagle will fly to the top of the mountain very high and wait. And when the storm hits, the eagle will take advantage of the power of the storm to bring its wings flying high into the sky.

For eagles, the storm is not a bad sign. It is a lever, an opportunity to strengthen the power to dominate the sky for the eagle.
