They usually only breed once a year. Once choosing the perfect tree, both mother and father work together to build the nest, made of leaves, grass and reeds. The eggs are laid 2-3 days apart from each other. Usually, the mother does most of the incubating (and after the eaglets hatch, she continues to spend most of her time in the nest keeping them company) while the father hunts for himself and his family, but they may temporarily switch places if the father ever needs a break from hunting.
Once hatching, siblings tend to fight intensely with one another, usually to the death. Eaglets fledge at the age of 2 months to 2 months and 2 weeks, but don't become fully independent from their parents until reaching the age of 4 months to 4 months and 2 weeks.
Adults have brown and black feathers with a white head, chest and tail and a yellow face, while juveniles have mostly brown feathers with some white feathers scattered about in a more wild and asymmetrical pattern than the adults, as well as a more grayish face.
