What is essential for eagle survival? A Good Dinner!
An eagle's diet varies with season and with what is available, but fish is the number one food type. Next, eagles will eat birds (waterfowl), occasional turtles, road-killed mammals, and other rarer items. Their average daily food consumption is from 250-550 grams per day, or between 5-10% of an eagle's body weight.
