The feet of a bald eagle will be used in flight to grab onto prey as they swoop down on a target. They will tuck their feet otherwise when in flight.

What is the childhood of the bald eagle like?

Bald eagles are often born with one or two siblings, although usually they won't all survive. They live in the largest nest of any North American bird. The nest is made of branches and each year, the parents add more material to it before they lay eggs. For that reason, a bald eagle nest may be up to 13 feet deep, 8 feet across, and weigh 1.1 tons! These nests are usually built in trees near a body of water, but if there are no trees in an area where the bald eagles live, they nest on the ground. Like most birds, bald eagle chicks don't play, and they simply wait for their next meal of regurgitated meat and/or fish. Once they reach about 12 weeks of age, surviving bald eagle chicks will take their first flight.
