Sampaloc Manila Royal Eagles Club

We all know that the National Bird of the Philippines is the Philippine Eagle. But, how much do we really know about our National Bird? Do we even know how and when it becomes our national bird? As sad as it may seem that as of this writing (1 st quarter of 2023), the Philippine Eagle is critically endangered , we only have approximately 800 left; we dig a little deeper and this is what we have found. The Philippine eagle or monkey-eating eagle is considered one of the rarest and most powerful birds in the world. Their life expectancy ranges from 30 to 60 years.

The full-grown, female Philippine eagle named ‘Thor’ (after the Norse God of Thunder), died due to old age. Authorities believe her captivity worsened her condition.

1. Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes. They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds. Eagles fly alone because they are solitary, territorial birds of prey. They are not social birds unless they are mating or teaching fledglings to fly or hunt. Eagles fly high up in the sky, scanning for food. An eagle can spot a rabbit in an open field from nearly a mile away. This means that you must stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company. Negative people can affect your attitude –Negativity can severely impact an individual's perception on the achievability of personal goals. Those who lack belief in a process will often try and derail those who are showing capability of achieving greatness. 2. Eagles have an Accurate Vision. They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5 km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. An eagle's visi...
