life of a pygmy eagle in the Krasnodar Territory

Krasnodar Territory is a region that is very diverse in terms of flora and fauna. “Notebook Krasnodar” continues to acquaint its readers with those animals and birds that live in the Kuban.

Another hero of our publication is a dwarf eagle. This name was not chosen by chance. This is the smallest eagle in the world. With its appearance, it resembles a kite, and weighs no more than one kilogram. The dwarf eagle can also boast of a variety of colors of its color. Its plumage can be both yellow and brown, and brown and gray. For convenience, ornithologists divided them into species according to the color of the feathers: dark, light and medium tone. The paws of the bird are very strong and tenacious. The claws are bent, the beak is large. Distinguishing a male from a female is fairly easy. Males are larger than their “ladies”.

Despite the fact that the dwarf eagle is small, it is not inferior to its relatives in terms of visual acuity. Thanks to tenacious paws, a strong beak and good eyesight, pygmy eagles prove to be excellent hunters. Do not take them and patience. They can spend a long time in ambush, waiting for their prey. The menu of dwarf eagles is mainly small birds, but they also do not disdain to eat mice and frogs.

They build their nests in dense forests and thickets. Thanks to their diminutive size, pygmy eagles are very easy to fly through thickets. Nests usually appear on deciduous trees. During the construction of the nest, they use twigs and branches, line the bottom with leaves and dry grass. After the death of birds, their nest can be occupied by the younger generation.

But the family follows the offspring in turn: first the female, and then the male incubate the eggs. There are only two of them. And a month later, offspring appear. Chicks eat the same food as their parents. Usually these are small rodents, game.

However, these eagles should not be underestimated due to their small size. They may attack the nests of other birds to eat their eggs. Despite the warm winters in the Kuban, pygmy eagles fly to the countries of Africa, Asia and India for this period.

Love and fidelity – this is exactly about dwarf eagles. They are monogamous. Couples connect once for the rest of their lives. They hibernate together, fly to the nesting site, build nests. The life span of pygmy eagles is about 25 years.

Today, this bird species is on the verge of extinction.

Do you know how an eagle chooses a father for her eagles?

She does such an interesting thing. She breaks off a twig from a tree or bush, takes it in her beak, rises to a great height and starts circling with this twig. Eagles begin to fly around the female, then she throws this branch down, while she looks. And then some eagle picks up this branch in the air, not letting it fall, and then brings it to the female very carefully, from beak to beak. The eagle takes this branch and throws it down again, the male catches it again and brings it to her, and she throws it again … And this is repeated many, many times. If, for a certain time and repeated throwing of a branch, the eagle picks it up each time, then the female chooses him, and they mate with him.

Why she does this, you will understand later.

Then they gather high on a rock, make a nest of hard sticks, and mum and dad start tearing down and feathers out of themselves, out of their own flesh, with their beaks. With this fluff and feathers they line the nest, clog all the holes in it, make it soft and warm. In such a soft and warm nest, the eagle lays her eggs, then they incubate the chicks. When the eaglets appear (and they come to the Light of God so small, naked, weak), their parents cover them with their bodies until they get stronger. They shield their wings from the rain, from the scorching sun, they bring them water, food, and the chicks grow. They begin to grow feathers, wings and tail grow stronger.

And now they have already fledged, although they are still small. Then mom and dad see that it’s time… Dad sits on the edge of the nest and starts beating it with his wings: thrashing, pounding, shaking this nest. For what? In order to knock out all the feathers and fluff, so that only a rigid frame of branches remains, which at the very beginning they wove and folded. And the chicks are sitting in this shaken nest, they are uncomfortable, hard, and they do not understand what happened: after all, mommy and daddy used to be so affectionate and caring. Mom at this time flies somewhere, catches a fish and sits down about five meters from the nest so that the chicks can see. Then, in front of his chicks, he begins to eat this fish quietly.

The chicks are sitting in the nest, yelling, squeaking, they do not understand what happened, because before everything was different. Mom and dad fed them, watered them, and now everything is gone: the nest has become hard, there are no feathers and down, and the parents themselves eat fish, but they don’t give them.

What to do? After all, you want to eat, you have to get out of the nest. And then the chicks begin to make movements that they have never done before. They wouldn’t have done more if their parents had continued to babysit them. The chicks start to crawl out of the nest. Here the eaglet falls out, so clumsy, still can’t do anything, doesn’t know anything. The nest stands on a rock, on a sheer cliff, so that no predators get close. The chick breaks off this slope, rides on it with its belly, and then flies into the abyss. And then dad (the one who once caught twigs) rushes headlong down and catches this eaglet on his back, preventing him from breaking. And then, on his back, he lifts him again into an uncomfortable nest, again onto a rock, and everything starts all over again. These chicks fall, and the father catches them.

And the Father caught them like an eagle on His back. Among the eagles, not a single eagle is broken.

And at one of the moments of the fall, the eaglet begins to make a movement that it has never done before: it spreads its lateral processes-wings in the wind, getting into the air stream and thus begins to fly. This is how eagles teach their young. And as soon as the chick begins to fly by itself, the parents take it with them and show the places where the fish is found. They no longer carry it in his beak.

This is a very good example of how we need to educate our children spiritually and physically. How important it is not to overexpose them in a warm nest! How important it is not to overfeed them with fish when they can already catch it themselves! But with what care should we teach them to fly, devoting our strength, and our time, and wisdom, and skills to this! No wonder the female chooses the male by throwing a twig.
