Between moments of preening, and perching they keep their eyes 👀 on the beautiful views around them as they prepare for the exciting adventures. ♥️
* Daily Fun Fact: BEAK: An Eagles beak is made of Keratin. The same rough fibrous protein made from human fingernails and hair. This keratin sheath called the Rhamphotheca grows over a core of living bone. An Eagles beak can get dry, but they have natural ways to manage it, natural oils while preening eagles often rub their beaks against the gland at the base of their tail. Feaking, when an eagle rubs its beak against a rock or branch. It essentially fills away the dried outer layer of keratin and keeps the beak smooth, sharp, and healthy. Because they are made of Keratin, eagle beaks grow throughout their life, as the outer layer gets dry and brittle or worn down from use, new layers grow from underneath. 🪶
