Just leaving this here... 👀🦅 Did you know these facts about eagles? 🟢 Built-in Sunglasses – Eagles have a special transparent eyelid called a nictitating membrane that acts like built-in goggles, protecting their eyes from dust and sun glare while they fly. 🟢 Aerial Thieves – Bald eagles are known for stealing food from other birds, especially ospreys. They’ll chase them mid-air until they drop their catch—talk about piracy in the sky! 🟢 Feather Maintenance – Eagles go through a slow molt, shedding and regrowing feathers one at a time so they never lose their ability to fly. Some species take up to three years to fully replace their feathers. 🟢 Symbolic Longevity – While many cultures see eagles as symbols of power, in some traditions, they represent rebirth because of their ability to regrow damaged feathers and adapt to changing environments. 🟢 Death-Defying Courtship – Some eagle species, like the golden eagle, engage in a "death spiral" during courtship—locking talons mid-air and plummeting toward the ground before letting go at the last second. (P.S. - We have a whole video on golden eagle migration that you can watch here: https://ow.ly/nqW450UTuN4) (fb)
