Are bald eagles in Brantford Ontario?
Yes in fact there is a nesting pair within the city limits of Brantford. I hope these beautiful birds continue to thrive and have a successful year.
What is the value of a 50-pound gold bar?
Gold is priced by the ounce. A 50 pound block would be 600 ounces and would cost 600 times the one ounce price. (The reason it's 600 oz. is because gold -- and all precious metals -- are measured in Troy ounces, which are twelve to the pound.)
Birds of prey pose a serious threat to parrots, and it's well known that they've taken parrots, pulling them out of their cages, or forcing their way into the cages. I haven't heard eagles specifically doing it but I'm sure they have as with hawks.
For what activities are the beaks of eagles and pelicans best suited?
The beaks of pelicans are used to scoop up fish from the water,which later on they eat.
Why is the wedge tail eagle endangered?
The wedgetail eagle which lives on the Australian mainland is endangered under the Federal Conservation Act. Within New South Wales, however, its status is "secure". Like most of Australia's species, it has become endangered by the spread of urbanisation and loss of habitat. It is also, sadly, threatened by the effects of dingo-baiting. In the case of the Tasmanian giant wedgetail eagle, this magnificant bird is endangered due to loss of habitat resulting from logging and pulp mills.
Why do small bird dive bomb birds of prey and why don't the birds of prey retaliate?
First of all, the smaller birds are likely trying to defend a nest. Red-Tailed Hawk vs American Kestrel for example, I have seen it happen. As to why the larger birds don't fight back, I'm not entirely sure. Have you ever tried to swat a fly with a baseball bat?
The Bald Eagle does not have a penis. They have what is called a Cloaca. When the male has mounted the female, he will rub his cloaca against the female's, flapping his wings and moving from side to side. Then, sperm will travel from the male's testicles into the female's cloacal opening. He will then dismount her and soon, eaglets will be born. Just an FYI.

Birds do NOT have external sexual organs. The male eagle does not have testes. The male and female do rub together but the male ejaculates as if pooping and the sperm is rubbed into the female cloacal opening. It's all external.

What causes a bald eagles egg to crack?
Once upon a time, a pesticide called DDT was sprayed every-friggin-where. This stuff would build up in higher level predators, and in the case of eagles, it made their eggshells super-thin. DDT was banned in the US in 1972.
Eagles do not love storms, but they do take advantage of the strong winds associated with storms, as well as "updrafts" coming off hills and mountains. This helps them to gain altitude and set them up for a long, soaring flight to another location, especially when they migrate great distances north or south.
Yes, bald eagles are scavengers so they will eat insects along with many other animals. They are often found eating fish as well as other birds.
Eagles are used as a symbol of patriotic action. They are given for many military-type awards or for people in public service like policemen of fireman.
