It can live up to 70 years
But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision
In its' 40's its' long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food
Its' long and sharp beak becomes bent Its' old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its' chest and make it difficult to fly
Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its' nest There the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it plucks it out After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its' talons. When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers
And after five months, the eagle takes its' famous flight of rebirth and lives for ...

nice article...
. this reminds me of a line..Change is the only permanent in life..
And change is a difficult choice though a preferable one
Inspiring indeed!
Been a while, hope you're doing well!
Does anyone have any reference links to this data? I have studied eagles in my past and do not recall anything similar to this. And what eagle specifically, because most eagles only live 15 to 30 years?
The "facts" are largely false. The lesson learned from this story is still valid.
I've posted a detailed refutation of the egle's rebirth on my own blog.
