Raw meat anyone?

Sea Eagle, Norway - These two are close in age to the Bald Eagles, coming in at 9 weeks old. They fledge at 10-11 weeks and remain close to the nest, dependent on their parents, for a further 5-6 weeks.

Close to fledging, you usually see birds flapping their wings a lot. This is to exercise the wings and make the flight feathers stronger.


Look at me! Aren't I grand?

It must be a little bit hot in Norway today. When birds get too hot, they will cool themselves off by holding their wings away from their body.
