Some of the world’s biggest flying birds are eagles. Their lifetime is significantly increased in comparison to lesser birds, just like their size.
A bald eagle kept in captivity with proper care may potentially live to be at least 40 years old. In the wild, bald eagles can live for 20 to 25 years. Additionally, a golden eagle may live for up to 30 years.
Despite having a longer lifespan by nature, these birds are also intensely competitive, which leads to many of them passing away before they can completely develop into adults.
