Which is bigger a eagle or a ostrich?
The albatross has the biggest wingspan on (or above) the planet.
The Royal albatross is 3.5 metres from wing tip to wing tip, and weighs 8 kilograms. The Antipodean or Wandering albatross is 3.2 metres from wing tip to wing tip.
What type of habitat does a eagle live in?
This depends on the species of eagle.
Eagles' habitat ranges from coastal to alpine areas. The Bald eagle, for example, prefers a habitat near to the seacoast or any other body of water, especially lakes. It also decides where its nest will be based on the abundance of fish there. It usually roosts and nests in deciduous forests. The nests are usually 2 feet deep and 5 feet wide. The habitat of an eagle is very important to it because it determines the objects used to build its nest based on the surrounding locations. Bald eagles which live inland migrate to the coasts during the winter if the lakes freeze over, preventing access to fish.
The White-breasted sea-eagle is very much a coastal bird. It is found in coastal areas and major waterways in India, China, Papua New Guinea, Australia and throughout southeast Asia. It tends to nest in the tallest eucalyptus trees near the floodplains of these regions.
The Wedge-tailed eagle of Australia, on the other hand, is not limited to coastal areas, but is found across Australia's vast array of habitats. It prefers open woodlands and grasslands further inland, where plenty of grassy groundcover means an abundance of easy prey. It tends to avoid rainforests and coastal heathlands. It will build its nest at the tallest point in the surrounding countryside, whether that is a cliff face or rocky outcrop in the desert, or the tallest tree in the open bushland or grassy plains.
How do bald eagles raise there young?
Quote from the website linked below: "Eagles feed their young by shredding pieces of meat from their prey with their beaks. The female gently coaxes her tiny chick to take a morsel of meat from her beak. She will offer food again and again, eating rejected morsels herself, and then tearing off another piece for the eaglet."
What sport can you score birdies eagles and albatrosses?
Golf This is a Bristish term in golf for completing a hole three shots under par. Otherwise known as a 'double eagle'. e.g. Getting the ball in the hole in the hole in 2 shots on a par 5 hole. Acheiving this is VERY rare. 'Par' is the number of shots you would be expected to have to take to complete a hole in a game of golf.

I am unsure of the question you are asking. There could be two different meanings to the word movement.
One could simply be flight when they are airborne and if they are on the ground they have a hopping like gait with wings stretched out for balance.The other answer could be migration. But each individual species is different.
1) The Bald Eagle:
Adult bald eagles begin fall migration when the northern lakes and rivers freeze over. Depending on location, they usually migrate to the coast or large rivers near dams, where the water remains open. Wind currents play a large role in determining their flight pattern.
Many eagles in Florida do not migrate, but remain year-round. Most bald eagles migrate south in the fall to areas with sufficient food, and return north in the spring to nest. In the spring, eagles migrate quickly; during the fall they migrate rather slow, sometimes remaining in an area for a week or so before continuing on.
2) The Golden Eagle:
Some golden eagles migrate, but others do not-depending on the conditions of their geographic location. Alaskan and Canadian eagles typically fly south in the fall, for example, while birds that live in the western continental U.S. tend to remain in their ranges year-round.
3) The Steller's Eagle:
Each winter, many Steller's sea eagles migrate from their breeding grounds to Japan, and a few reach Korea or even farther afield. Other individuals do not migrate, but simply move to open water as winter approaches.
I have still seen some brown eagles lately, but not many, so maybe.

Are there bald eagles in Russia?
I'm gonna answer "no". That is the United States state bird.
Re: The persons who answered "No. That is the United States bird."
That is INCORRECT! The bald eagle is not indigenous to only the United States, or to the North American continent either. Bald eagles can be found in Russia (which is not far from the state of Alaska where there are lots of these birds), as well as other species of eagles.
Just because it is the designated national bird of the United States does not mean that it is only inhabits that area. That would be like saying the national bird of Belgium, the common Kestrel Falcon only lives in the country of Belgium. (Which is ridiculous because I was just caring for a common Kestrel Falcon earlier this afternoon at the wildlife rescue where I volunteer at in Washington state, U.S.A.)
So the correct answer is "YES" there are bald eagles in Russia (or the area formerly known as Russia/Soviet Union/U.S.S.R./ etc.).
The Steller's sea eagle is found in Russia, but the bald eagle is found only in North America.
Eagles sleep either in their nest or on a tree branch. Most are diurnal so they sleep during the night. They have a special locking mechanism on their feet that allow them to hold onto a branch without thinking about it. This prevents them from falling out of the tree.
Bald eagles weigh about 10-14 pounds. They are carnivorous and eat fish and small game. Eagles have about 7,000 feathers.

What is the name of a sea eagle?
There are many species of sea eagles, the Steller's sea eagle which is the largest, the white tailed sea eagle, white bellied sea eagle to name a few. They are also called fish eagles because sea eagles eats largely on fish like trouts and salmon. Albatross and Terns. erne
Do male bald eagles lay on the eggs?
Ma and Pa eagle build a large nest consisting of a structural understory of twigs and limbs. The nest is usually high up in a tree, sometimes on a cliff, or even on the ground, but generally the higher the better. The nest has a bowl-like depression in the center. The parents fill the depression with grass and straw to make a level surface, and in the middle of that they excavate a smaller cup.
Bald eagles re-use their nests season after season, and when one of a pair dies, the other will take on a new mate from among the unmated younger eagles. Some very large nests are believed to have been occupied for hundreds of years continuously.
The female settles on the cup and lays her egg into it. You can see this happen on various webcams that have been installed at bald eagle nests; if you are lucky enough to actually witness egg laying, all you will see is that the female gives a little shrugging wiggle.
Once the first egg is laid, it's incubated continuously until it hatches, with Ma and Pa taking turns. If more than one egg is laid in a season, the second and (very rarely) third eggs are laid in the same cup at intervals of about three days. The parents guard the eggs at all times, and take care to turn the eggs with their beaks from time to time.
The eggs hatch about 35-40 days after they are laid, and they hatch in the same order, with a few days delay between each one.
Near fresh water and green life. Oh and near tons of fish.
Is a bald eagle a thing or person?
A Bald Eagle is a BIRD! It is not a thing, it may be a SYMBOL for America if that is what you mean. But it is a BIRD and it is definitely not a person! Where did you get that idea from anyways?
What species eagle flies the highest?
An individual Rüppell's Griffon (or vulture, Gyps rueppellii) holds the highest confirmed flight, as the bird was ingested by an engine on a passenger jet at 37,900 feet (11,550 meters) in 1975.
Other birds that fly at high altitudes are :
- Bar-headed geese (Anser indicus) that migrate across the Himalayas at over 28,000 feet (8530 m)
- Whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus) recorded at over 27,000 feet (8230 m) over the Faroe Islands near Iceland
- Bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica), spotted at up to 20,000 feet (6100 m).
- Canadian Geese and Mallard Ducks, at over 9,000 feet (one struck a plane at 21,000 feet in 1961)
