Some young eagles shed their downy feathers early and wear the dress of grown-up birds. Others keep some or all of their baby feathers five or six years. And there are some very old eagles still wearing some of the downy feathers of their first dresses.

Eagles are just regular animals and could no more survive losing their beaks, their only way to feed, than they could survive loosing their wings.
