Mrs. Carol Hopson-Above the Storm

The early development of the
eaglet is very important to the parents
and to its future survival. For
this reason, both parents spend most
of the first two weeks with the
eaglets. The female does her shading
and brooding of her chicks, while the
male provides nearly all the food. If
the female feels the need to leave the
nest for a short time, the male
replaces her. Remember, this is
when the babies are the most vulnerable
to the serpent’s attacks. During
the first few weeks, the mother eagle
will take the food the father has
brought back and will tear it into
small pieces and feed it to her babies.
But, after a few weeks, things begin
to change and she stops tearing the
food up for them. At five weeks, they
can do it on their own, but she must
stop doing it for them or they will never learn to tear it up
for themselves. About two weeks before the eaglets leave
the nest, there is a marked drop in the amount of food
brought back to the nest for them. They probably don’t
understand what is happening, or why, but if they were
always “provided for” they would never desire to leave the
nest and become healthy, mature eagles.
