Golden eagle
species of bird
Is the Golden eagle considered a scavenger bird?
Scavengers are defined as animals that feed on dead carcasses of animals they have not killed themselves. Vultures are scavengers that hover in the air and swoop down to feed once they see an animal killed by another animal. The Golden eagle has sharp talons to hunt its own prey. Golden eagles kill and feed on hares, rabbits, and ground squirrels.
Who kills the prey that scavengers feed on? Who kills the prey that Golden eagles feed on? Is #1 the same as #2?
