Why do eagles fart?

Answer 1

The actual matter is, while eagles are in fact a predatory bird, they still do have to fear other, larger predators. The actual act of farting, which in humans is a natural release of methane that builds up in the system, was actually evolved in eagles as a precautionary and defensive measure. If an eagle feels threatened, it produces this Methane, which hurts most predators heightened sense of smell.
