Though it is the national bird of Mexico, Golden Eagle bird maybe the most numerous in the world. They can live up to 48 years in the mountainous area and many of them can be seen in the northern hemisphere. Unfortunately, this specie is getting extinct in that area while gaining numbers in the eastern part.  They are named Golden Eagle bird because of their striking golden head and neck that comes along with brown to black colors of their feathers. Young Golden Eagle birds have white patches and white tail.

Golden Eagle birds are great hunter of rabbits and squirrels and not of sheep. This can be attributed for being the highest flier and to their keen vision. They can fly high while twisting in the air covering great distance. They can see a prey even from afar, yet despite their keen eyesight they cannot see a thing at night. I must say, they have strong family relationship, a couple Golden Eagle bird can be seen together for a lifetime . Getting this for a pet is not allowed since they are protected by the law.
