Principles of Eagles
Thought I would share this with you .....Happy Reading
1. Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or with other small birds. No other bird can go to the height of the eagle.When Moses went to commune with God on the mountain, he left the crowd at the foothills. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. Eagles fly with eagles.
2. Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and sets out to get it. No matter the obstacle, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed.
3. Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not.Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research well.
4. Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm's winds to lift it higher. Once it finds the wing of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees. We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably.
5. The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her! Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for partnership.
6. When ready to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high on a cliff where no predators can reach. The male flies to earth and picks thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then flies to earth again to collect twigs which he lays in the intended nest. He flies back to earth and picks thorns laying them on top of the twigs. He flies back to earth and picks soft grass to cover the thorns. When this first layering is complete the male eagle runs back to earth and picks more thorns, lays them on the nest; runs back to get grass it on top of the thorns, then plucks his feathers to complete the nest. The thorns on the outside of the nest protect it from possible intruders. Both male and female eagles participate in raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts. During the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest. Because they are scared, they jump into the nest again. Next, she throws them out and then takes off the soft layers of the nest, leaving the thorns bare. When the scared eaglets again jump into the nest, they are pricked by thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time wondering why the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next, mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings them back to the cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start flapping their wings. They get excited at this newfound knowledge that they can fly. The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes;The preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both partners leads to success;The being pricked by the thorns tells us that sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result into our not experiencing life, not progressing and not learning at all. The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest and love on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns. The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us.
7. When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out.
We occasionally need to shed off old habits and items that burden us without adding to our lives....... ..

1. With a weight ranging from 2.5 to 7 Kg, Eagle will probably die exhausted flying at lower altitude. At higher alt. because of less gravitational force & thinness in air, eagle can fly/float in air with less effort. Means he is forced to fly at higher elevations & it's not his passion.
2. Eagles often have a division of labour while hunting: one partner drives the prey to its waiting partner. They have very good eyesight and can spot prey from a long distance (not 5KM). The success rate is generally 4 out of 10.
3. During winter months when prey is scarce, Eagles scavenge on carrion to supplement their diet.
4. Since the only place for them to run/hide is sky, they have no other option than to fly in storm.
5. Though this twig throwing business is not common among Eagle species, a pair of Eagles remains together for life.
6. They build several nests (eyries) within their territory and use them alternately for several years. The nest consists of heavy tree branches, upholstered with grass. Old eyries may be 2 meters (6.6 ft) in diameter and 1 meter (3.3 ft) in height, as the eagles enlarge their nests every year. If the eyrie is situated on a tree, supporting tree branches may break because of the weight of the nest.
The female lays two eggs between January and May (depending on the area). After 45 days the young hatch. In most cases only the older chick, which takes most of the food survives. How? By killing his younger brother/sister. There will be lot of sparring going on between the big baby and a smaller one: beaks open trying to 'neck wrestle' or bite on.
When the juvenile get all the feathers, he at first starts jumping on the branches of the tree or on cliff, learning how to fly. Parents esp. Father tries to teach eaglet by making rapid movements of his wing. Within week the eaglet learns to fly & separates from the pair.
7. There are no observation in wild as to how long Eagle lives. In captivity, Eagles have survived about 45 ears. An eagle sometimes live to be over one hundred years old. Many years ago it was said that an eagle never dies of sickness nor of old age, but that its beak grows out of shape in its last years so that it cannot eat
Though the intentions of the blogger are good, to keep the moral of everyone in higher level, the examples used were not so correct. All I tried to do is give some facts which were not considered.
If the comments are taken as “personal” or simply neglected, I am sorry.
