Why do Bald Eagles have such big, strong nests when they have only two small eggs?
Bald Eagles are about 3 feet (90 centimeters) from their head to their tail and before the nestlings leave the nest, they become as large as their parents and need a lot of room for their 6 foot (1.8 metre) wingspan. The nests need to be very sturdy because the eaglets jump up and down, flapping their wings when they’re learning to fly.
