yes, of course it eats live prey only like rats, snakes, etc
Eagles are generally Birds of Prey. Birds prey are birds that hunt for food mostly while aloft, using their keen senses, especially vision. They are defined as birds that primarily hunt vertebrates, including other birds. Their beaks and talons are usually rather large, powerful, and well adapted to piercing flesh. Although they may eat carrion (dead animals) when it is available, they primarily hunt live prey, killing it before or while eating it.

∙ 13y agoEagles eat both live food and carrion. Bald eagles are known for capturing fish from salt or fresh water as a matter of course, but they also routinely forage at garbage dumps, and it was common practice in the North American West to poison carcasses of cattle and horses in order to kill golden eagles. Recent studies have captured photographs of many species of birds of prey, including owls and hawks, that were once thought to be strict predators feeding on deer and other carcasses.
