Wedge Tailed Eagle The Majestic Gorgeous Australian Bird

Wedge Tailed Eagle The Majestic Gorgeous Australian Bird
wedge-tailed eagle or bunjil (Aquila audax) An iconic bird in Australia. These guys are huge with a wingspan of almost 3m. They get darker and usually a lot more wary with age. This old bird was obviously pretty hungry and allowed us to get reasonably close as it fed on a road-killed Red Kangaroo.

Wedge Tailed Eagle Photograph by Australian Parrots and Birds

Australian Parrots and Birds: Good morning, The Eagle has Landed, they are our largest bird of prey, the male grows to 90cm and the female 100cm, they reach their full adult dark plumage in 5-7 years, they nest in an enormous stick nest in a large tree and lay 1-3 blotched brown eggs, have a great day and hope you have the eagle eye, regards Peter



Bevely McAllister Didn't realize the female was larger than the male! Wow.
Stephen Wesley Thurston I live on the North Coast and there is a pair that circle the area regularly, but? they are not that common, and I'll be informed farmers still take pot shots at them.
Evan Pearsall The one bird who I'd love to own as a pet but I doubt it?! Such a majestic and beautiful bird and are still around my hometown

Nikky Malcolm There are some massive Wedgies all through central and western QLD. They are not afraid of cars, or people, either! Majestic creatures!
Gwen Hulme wow, what a formidable bird is an eagle. natures vacuum cleaner. without such birds, the air would be unbreathable, from rotting wild animals, very needed in the web of life.
Pam Hynd What a magnificent bird, I am lucky enough to have a pair living nearby. Even the American bald eagle doesn't compare with our Wedgies......



Lynne Mora Now there's a bird. It's hard not to be impressed when you see an eagle in flight. They are very beautiful and impressive birds. Thanks, Peter. Have a great day.
Heather Phillips I often see a pair near Mooroduc, on the Mornington Peninsula, when I'm driving on the freeway to Sorrento.
Sue Simpson Majestic bird we see them soaring high in a couple of locations close by 
Lorraine Shackleton We saw a couple of "Wedgies" feeding on some road kill & they were massive. They have got the biggest & strongest legs I've ever seen on a bird
Pat Dewar Love the wedge Tails.They keep the rabbit population down here.



Darren Moore Hope you don't mind me sharing a pic I took in the Flinders Rangers back in 2013
Carole Heap The Eagle sure has landed"" absolutely magnificent Bird, occasionally have seen them near our properties sitting on the fence posts, like the Many Hawks, they feast on the afterbirth at calving time,

Meg Bellingham: This gorgeous Eagle was feasting on a roo smack in the middle of Canberra a couple of months ago. Very unusual, so must have been hungry. It certainly was a traffic stopper that day.....
Amanda Taylor Unusual it was eating the roo or unusual it was in the middle of Canberra? I'm guessing Canberra because they eat road kill all the time.
Meg Bellingham In the middle of Canberra. Where it was is constant heavy traffic (4 lanes) so it took us all by surprise to see it where it was
Emily Robertson Amazing! I've seen crows and magpies going at the Canberra roadkill but never a Wedgie.







This endangered species, the Wedge-tailed Eagle was photographed in takayna / Tarkine during last year's Tarkine in Motion. These images are a huge help to our campaign efforts to protect takayna / Tarkine
