Does a eagle beat down his beak wait for it to regrow and then chew off talons pluck out chest feathers to better hunt and therefore prolong life?
The PowerPoint presentation circulating the Internet is a myth and metaphor intended to encourage and strengthen people. Eagles do not go into seclusion, pluck out their feathers, beak and talons, and then after five months emerge renewed. It's a myth! An eagle's beak and talons grow continuously, because they are made of keratin, the same substance as our hair and fingernails. Eagles molt in patches, taking almost half a year to replace feathers, starting with the head and working downward. Not all feathers are replaced in a given molt. An eagle without feathers, talons, and a beak would die of starvation and exposure.

What is the body covering of eagles?
The Body of an eagle is made for flying and for catching prey. To do these things, the body must be light in weight and very strong. It must be light enough to get off the ground and fly high in the air, but strong enough to swoop down on prey and carry it away. To make their bodies lighter in weight, eagles have hollow bones. In some places, there are braces inside the bones to make them stronger (as shown above). But many parts of the bones have nothing inside them them but air. As incredible as it may seem, the entire skeleton of a Bald eagle weighs only a little more than half a pound (272 grams).
