Facts about eagles:
1. In 1782 the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird/symbol
of the United States of America and placed on The Great Seal. The Great Seal is
used to authenticate documents that are issued by the government. Bald eagles come
from North America!
2. The largest eagle in the world is the Philippine eagle. The
wingspan of the Philippine eagle can be as big as eight feet (8). The
Philippine eagles can weigh as much as seventeen and a half pounds (17.5) or a
little over. They are about 3 feet tall!
3. The smallest of the eagles is the South Nicobar serpent
eagle. Their wingspan can be up to three feet. They can weigh up to 4 pounds.
The South Nicobar serpent eagle can be up to 16 inches tall.
4. A group of eagles is called a convocation, jubilee, soar,
aerie, and/or tower of eagles. Baby eagles are called eaglets, nestlings,
fledglings, and/or juveniles.
5. Most eagles are diurnal which means they are active
during the day and hunt for food in the daylight. Eagles have excellent long-distance
vision! Eagles can see things from about 20 feet away!! An eagle’s eye sight is
4 to 8 times better than a human’s eye sight.
6. Eagles are carnivores. Carnivores only eat meat. Depending
on the type of eagle and where it is from eagles usually eat small mammals and
fish.
7. Eagles do not sleep in nest unless they have eggs in the
nest! Eagles perch/roost in trees or other places high up and away from
predators.

lifespan of up to 30 years. The longest known wild golden eagle lived 31 years
and a golden eagle in captivity lived to be 46 years old.
