Hi steemian. Today I will share the story about the eagle that is in captivity of the deer park, Aceh Besar. Apart from being a tourist place, here we can learn and see how the life of an eagle in captivity. Here are two eagles in this park.
- Bondol Eagle (Haliastur indus)
The brown eagle with the neck and the white head is smooth brown. The wing tip is black with a slightly rounded tail. the eagle habitat is mostly on the coast and sometimes there is also in the jungle. The main meal of this eagle is meat from animals such as rats and carcasses. altitude flying eagle is reaching 20 meters to 50 meters. Habitat eagle is mostly found especially in Indonesia covers the region of Sumatra, Kalimantan, Papua, and Nusa Tenggara. Fly low over the water surface to hunt for food, but sometimes also wait for prey while perched on a tree near the water, and occasionally seen walking on the ground for ants and termites. Attack seagulls, sea doves, large water birds, and other smaller predatory birds to steal food.
- Buteo Eagle (Buteo Linnaeus 1758)
Just a few notes in Java and Bali. Expected to be a wanderer or winter visitor in Sumatra. This eagle is the same as other eagles that prey on rats, rabbits, and the like. but the eagle more often spends his time on a tree branch to hunt down his prey. as for him the meter of this bird is very large up to 1 meter more when he spread his wings. The nest is usually made on a large tree near the edge of the forest. Each pair has more than one nest, sometimes using nests from other raptors. Generally 2-4 eggs eggs are incubated for 35-39 days, especially by females, while males are more tasked to find food. Puppies begin to learn to fly and leave the nest age 50-60 days. The oldest bird ever recorded more than 25 years old.
