A brief introduction of raptor bird eagle. Eagle is called bird of prey. There are approximately 60 species of eagle living in our planet. Lets find out their food habit, distribution and many more.
The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any other bird or domesticated fowl.[1] Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and, less commonly, as pets. Originally raised for cockfighting or for special ceremonies, chickens were not kept for food until the Hellenistic period (4th–2nd centuries BC).[2][3]
Genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia,[4] but with the clade found in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa originating in the Indian subcontinent. From ancient India, the domesticated chicken spread to Lydia in western Asia Minor, and to Greece by the 5th century BC.[5] Fowl had been known in Egypt since the mid-15th century BC, with the "bird that gives birth every day" having come to Egypt from the land between Syria and Shinar, Babylonia, according to the annals of Thutmose III.[6][7][8]

2. Papuan eagle
The Papuan eagle (Harpyopsis
novaeguineae) also known as
the Papuan harpy eagle, New Guinea
eagle, or Kapul eagle, is a large (length
75–90 cm, wingspan 157 cm, weight
1600–2400 g)[2] greyish
brown raptor with a short full crest,
broad three-banded wings, powerful
beak, large iris, long rounded tail and
white underparts. It has long and
powerful unfeathered legs with sharp
claws. The sexes are similar, and the
female is slightly larger than the male. It
is the only member of the
genus Harpyopsis.
3. The Papuan eagle is endemic to undisturbed tropical
rainforests of New Guinea, where it became the top
predator of the island. The diet consists mainly
of phalangers or Kapul in a local language, hence its
alternative name. It also feeds on other mammals, birds
and snakes.
One of a group of four large eagles, the others being
the crested and harpy eagle of South America and
the Philippine eagle of the Philippines (although the latter
may be more closely related to species of snake eagle
around the world), the New Guinea harpy eagle is
essentially a mountain bird that nests in high forest trees,
but may be found down to sea level in the few places
where forests remain undisturbed.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, small population size, and
hunting for its feathers which are used on ceremonial
occasions, the Papuan eagle is evaluated
as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened
Species.[1] It is listed on Appendix II of CITES

6. Pygmy eagle
The pygmy eagle or New Guinea
hawk-eagle (Hieraaetus weiskei) is
a bird of prey in
the Accipitridae family. It is found
in New Guinea. Its
natural habitats are subtropical or
tropical moist lowland forests and
subtropical or tropical
moist montane forests. It is often
considered a subspecies of the little
eagle, but some taxonomists
separate it into a distinct species.
7. African fish eagle
The African fish eagle (Haliaeetus
vocifer),[2] or to distinguish it from the
true fish eagles (Ichthyophaga), the African
sea eagle, is a large species of eagle found
throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever
large bodies of open water with an abundant
food supply occur. It is the national
bird of Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Sudan.
As a result of its large range, it is known in
many languages.[3] Examples of names
include: visarend in Afrikaans, nkwazi in Che
wa, aigle
pêcheur in French,[4] hungwe in Shona,
and inkwazi in isiZulu. This species may
resemble the bald eagle in appearance;
though related, each species occurs on
different continents, with the bald eagle
being resident in North America.
9. The African fish eagle is a species placed in the
genus Haliaeetus (sea eagles). Its closest relative
appears to be the critically endangeredMadagascar fish
eagle (H. vociferoides). Like all sea eagle species pairs,
this one consists of a white-headed species (the African
fish eagle) and a tan-headed one. These are an ancient
lineage of sea eagles, and as such, have dark talons,
beaks, and eyes[5] Both species have at least partially
white tails even as juveniles. The scientific name is
derived from Haliaeetus, New Latin for "sea eagle" (from
the Ancient Greekhaliaetos), and vocifer is derived from its
original genus name, so named by the French
naturalist François Levaillant, who called it 'the vociferous
one'.
10. The African fish eagle is a large bird, and the female, at
3.2–3.6 kg (7.1–7.9 lb) is larger than the male, at 2.0–
2.5 kg (4.4–5.5 lb). This is typical sexual dimorphism in
birds of prey. Males usually have wingspans around 2 m
(6.6 ft), while females have wingspans of 2.4 m (7.9 ft).
The body length is 63–75 cm (25–29.5 in). The adult is
very distinctive in appearance with a mostly brown body
with a white head like the bald eagle and large, powerful,
black wings. The head, breast, and tail of African fish
eagles are snow white, with the exception of the
featherless face, which is yellow. The eyes are dark brown
in colour. The hook-shaped beak, ideal for a carnivorous
lifestyle, is yellow with a black tip. The plumage of the
juvenile is brown in colour, and the eyes are paler
compared to the adult. The feet have rough soles and are
equipped with powerful talons to enable the eagle to grasp
slippery aquatic prey. While this species mainly subsists
on fish, it is opportunistic and may take a wider variety of
prey such as waterbirds. Its distinctive cry is, for many,
evocative of the spirit or essence of Africa.[7][8][9] The call,
shriller when uttered by males, is a weee-ah, hyo-hyo or
a heee-ah, heeah-heeah.

facial feathers
