The story of the eagle


The eagle has the longest life-span of its species
 


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 30 more years.
