About These Birds
Golden Eagle
The golden eagle is one of the most powerful and agile raptors in the Northern Hemisphere. Revered by many cultures, it has been used in falconry for centuries, particularly by Kazakh eagle hunters of Central Asia. Golden eagles can dive at speeds exceeding 240 km/h when pursuing prey.
Black Eagle
The Black Eagle is a large, all-black raptor with broad wings, a long tail, and distinctive yellow cere and feet, giving it an imposing silhouette in flight. It inhabits forested hills and mountains from the Indian subcontinent through Southeast Asia to Indonesia. It specializes in raiding the nests of other birds and squirrels, gliding slowly over the forest canopy to locate prey.
