Best Answer

Eagles swallow big chunks of fish and small animals or birds, bones and all. To digest them and to prevent sharp, jagged bone edges from piercing their intestines, eagle stomachs produce extremely strong acids. These acids also destroy most bacteria, so that when eagles are scavenging on dead fish and other animals, they don't get sick.
