The rebirth of the eagle

Eagles can live to 70 years old, and when they live to 40 years old, they will face life and death choices! This is mainly because when its life reaches the 40th year, the eagle's claws begin to age, and it can't catch its prey effectively. Its beak becomes long and curved, and it will hang down to the chest; Its wings will grow thick and dense feathers, making them heavy and difficult to fly.

At this time, the eagle has only two choices: either die or go through a very painful process of rebirth. To be reborn, the eagle has to fly to the top of the mountain alone and prepare for rebirth at the height of the mountain. This is a long and terrible process, and the reborn eagle has to endure great pain and serious physical trauma. The first step of rebirth is to remove the aging beak. The eagle leaned his head against the rough rock and rubbed it up and down on the stone wall, grinding off the aging beak skin layer by layer until it completely peeled off. At this time, the eagle has been unable to swallow food. It doesn't eat or drink, and it supports its life with the little energy in its body, waiting quietly in the painful torment.

A few months later, a new beak slowly grew, and the eagle began the second step of rebirth. When the new beak grows, the eagle pulls out the aging toenails on its claws with its beak, and blood drops ... Then it is a long and painful wait-the dying eagle grows new toenails in pain, and at this time it has to cross the last hurdle: pull out its long and heavy feathers with new toenails ... When the new feathers grow, the eagle is reborn like nirvana!

With a new beak, new claws and new feathers, the eagle can hunt again, and the reborn eagle can live for another 30 years!

Eagle is a typical representative of eagle-shaped order, and there are many kinds. The most common species in China are goshawk, sparrow hawk and red-bellied hawk.

The goshawk is usually called the Chicken Eagle or Ying Huang. The male is about half a meter long, and the male is smaller than the female. It is gray-black from head to front, black after eyes, and has obvious white eyebrow spots. The lower body is white with a large number of gray-black small horizontal spots. The upper body and wing surface of the female bird are grayish brown, with white eyebrows and brown stripes, and the lower body is white with longitudinal spots under the body.

When a goshawk flies, its wings are short and wide, its apex is round and its tail is long. Generally, flapping and gliding alternate and fly in a straight line. The wing stays level when flying. Flapping its wings is faster than other big eagles. Living in the mountains, he is good at preying on small mammals, such as rabbits and rats, and occasionally preying on birds. Distributed in Northeast China and even Yunnan, Guangdong and Wenzhou. Breeding in Siberia and Xiaoxing 'an Mountains in China. This kind of bird likes to eat mice and so on, which is beneficial to agriculture. Young birds are often domesticated as falcons to catch rabbits and birds.

Accipiter nisus, commonly known as kite, is slightly smaller than goshawk. Adult birds have bluish gray upper body, long tail feathers and obvious dark brown transverse spots, which are easy to identify. Flying mainly depends on flapping wings and short-distance gliding alternately, often hovering in the air. Often living in the mountains, or by rivers and streams near villages, he has strong flying ability and is good at preying on animals such as birds. It breeds in northern North China, northwest Northeast China, boketu of Hulunbeier League, Daxing 'anling and Xiaoxing 'anling in northern China, and often appears in the east of Sichuan and Yunnan in winter. This bird can also be domesticated as a falcon to catch birds.

The red-bellied eagle (Accipiter soloensis) is slightly larger than the sparrow hawk, with a blue-black upper body, several thin horizontal bands on its tail feathers, no eyebrow spots, and a light gray lower body. Flying posture is the same as sparrows and eagles. They often live in forests and feed on frogs, lizards, birds and large insects. Breeding in Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

There are many kinds of eagles, some are called eagles, some are called kites, some are called birds, some are called owls, some are called eagles, some are called falcons, and so on. Anyway, they are big birds that eat small animals. This kind of eagle on the grassland is bigger than a kite and smaller than a vulture. They fly very fast, and their eyes can see every move of a chicken more than ten kilometers away. They are so cunning and ferocious that it is difficult for hunters to shoot them down with guns. But some hunters use another kind of bird as bait, catch it alive with a net, and train it to be a rabbit catcher who works hard for mankind by cooking an eagle.

There are many kinds of eagles, including 190 all over the world, and more than 20 common ones in Taiwan Province province. They are distributed in the middle and low altitude mountains, swamps, coasts and estuaries of Taiwan Province Island. They feed on animals and belong to raptors. Among the common eagles in Pingtung Plain, there is an eagle called White-tailed Eagle, which has a light brown head and neck and a brown back and abdomen, and is characterized by white-tailed feathers. It is a rare migratory bird in Taiwan Province Province. There is also an eagle called the gray-faced vulture, which has a reddish-brown back, a white belly with spots, and a milky throat and cheeks. Every autumn, gray-faced vultures will travel long distances from the northeast of the motherland or Siberia, Russia, with the cold current, and come to Pingtung in droves, sometimes as many as hundreds or even thousands or even tens of thousands. However, in recent years, foreign businessmen have bought a large number of specimens of this eagle, which has led people to kill gray-faced vultures on a large scale. Pingtung became the "ghost gate" of gray-faced vultures. Every year, more than 20,000 gray-faced vultures can't escape the bad luck of killing. In this regard, many enthusiasts point out that if this overfishing continues, this eagle will be on the verge of extinction.

Eagle, a general name for large carnivorous birds of the family Eagle, is found all over the world. Hawks are similar to vultures, but larger in length and wingspan (up to 7 1? 2 feet /228 cm), the beak is almost as long as the head. They are solitary birds and are said to mate for life. The nest built by branches, or Ying Chao, is built in a favorable position on a high tree or cliff. It is a permanent foraging area, which increases year after year. The garbage from the previous nest is decomposed under the newly added things. The bird's nest can become huge, with a diameter of 10 foot and a weight exceeding 1 0,000 pounds. Hawks (usually two) don't grow adult stripes until the third year, when they leave their parents' protection and look for their spouses and territories.

American condor (white, such as spotted) or bald eagle (Haliaetus leucocephalus) can be found everywhere near North American waters, mainly feeding on dead fish (sometimes robbing the prey of osprey) and rodents. It is dark brown, and the feathers on the head, neck and tail are white. The northern species (mainly found in Canada) are slightly larger than the southern species, which are distributed all over the United States. In 1963, there were only 4 17 known breeding pairs in 48 neighboring States, and the number of vultures was decreasing alarmingly. Ten years later, they were listed as endangered species. In one of the most successful stories of species restoration, protection methods such as banning DDT and falcon appeared at the beginning of 2 1 century. Increase the number of breeding in 48 southern States to about 5000 pairs. The vulture was released from the endangered state on 1995 and is now listed as threatened.

Golden eagles, or Shan Ying, are widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, and are mainly found in the west in the United States. Unlike vultures, it is an aggressive carnivore. In Asia, it is trained to hunt small prey. The adult is coal brown, and the head and neck feathers are yellow brown; Unlike vultures, its legs are covered with feathers. Gray sea eagle and tiger sea eagle (also belonging to the genus sea eagle) are native to the colder regions in the northern hemisphere; Kings or imperial eagles in Europe and southern Asia; And the rare monkey-eating eagle to the Philippines. The harpy of Central and South America, or the harpy of the eagle, is the largest (38 inches. /95 cm long) eagles eat macaws and sloths. It was named after the winged monster in Greek mythology and was called the winged wolf by the Aztecs. The extinct Hastert eagle in New Zealand, with a wingspan of 10 feet (3 meters), is 30% to 40% heavier than the harpy. Before the arrival of humans, it was the top predator in the archipelago ecosystem.

Eagle-impressive for its huge size and frightening beauty-has long been a symbol of kingship, appearing on coins, seals, flags and flags since ancient times. The eagle is the symbol of a Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt and the flag of the Roman army and Napoleon's army. The American vulture became the national emblem of the United States in 1782 through an act of Congress. In folklore, the eagle's ability to take away prey, including children (such as the legend of Ganymede) is exaggerated; Even a powerful golden eagle can only lift up to 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms).

Hawks belong to Chordata, Vertebrate Subdivision, Bird Class, Hawkiformes, and Hawk Family.
