+Ceara Bria Golden eagle is a very large, dark brown raptor with broad wings, ranging from (26 to 40 in) in length and from males (5 ft 11 in to 7 ft 8 in) in wingspan primarily dark brown in color, with a paler, typically golden color (the source of the species’ common name) on the back of the crown and nape, and some grey on the inner-wing and tail As an apex predator, a healthy adult golden eagle has no natural predators, although grizzly bears and wolverines have been reported to killed from disturbing their nest

[@davidsamudio3899]

thats because those eagles are Apex Predators, they fear nothing, and there is nothing who can theat the chicks exept for people of maybe other eagles, but because their territories are so large, encounters with another family are rare

Ow I thought you meant impersonating one of the presenters.

That explains why the video ended abruptly after the mama bird glided down the trees lol

[@thatmusiclover6661]

Bird moms can be very violent and protective, I've seen little birds fighting with other birds because of that, strangers are not allowed at all at their nests not even near, honestly I think these men were really lucky that the mom didn't attack them, just look how she stares at them like "Ok humans I'll give you 5 seconds to leave my home or otherwise you all will regret it!". Such a beautiful creature and she deserves all the respect ❤

[@Azarath_Metrion_Zinthos]

We don't even know if the bird attacked them or not... The abrupt ending of the video ryt after the mama bird's arrival was very ambiguous to say the least lol 😆

People dont know that but Harpy eagles are very gentle to be an Eagle If the mother was really interested in attack they probably will be in serious shit haha I speak by personal experience I Live in Panama my backyard is nearby a nest and we play under the tree, the mother is actually calm other birds are hella territorial when they have babies, sometimes we let them chickens so they can eat properly :)

It can't "wag" then. But can erect them on command. It can shake it's head side to side,which may cause this mighty crest to make waggish like movements.
