Do golden eagles eat fish

Answer 1

A bald eagle is a hunter or a predator which means it hunts and kills its own food. They will eat either dead or alive meat, but alive might be a little messy considering they will literally have to kill it themselves. So the answer to your question is YES, eagles will eat dead meat. Hocheman120, Dm8r, and Devoidshilo

Bald Eagles and other Birds of Prey kill what they caught before eating it, although they will not turn down a free lunch such as a fresh bit of road kill. I kept the 3 Red Hawk hatchlings in my back yard full of fresh squirrel meat last spring and it looks like mom and pop are sprucing up the old nest for another brood.
