No. Eagles are birds, and birds do not provide milk for their young.

Some birds are fed on special secretions from the parent birds' crop, and these may even be called crop milk, but it is not milk in the true sense of the word. Birds which feed their young with "crop milk" include pigeons, doves and flamingos. Eagles do not fall into this category.

Eagles may not start eating the instant they are born, because although a parent will be present. it may not have food with it at the time. However, baby eagles are born with a digestive system fully capable of handling regurgitated food. They will eat as soon as a parent shows up with some available food.
