The eagle has the longest lifespan of its species at 70 years. However, eagles over 40 years old can no longer hunt effectively due to stiff talons and a bent beak. Their heavy, thick feathers also make flying difficult. Eagles at this stage have two options: die or undergo a painful 150-day molting process. This involves knocking off its beak against rocks, plucking out talons, and replacing old feathers to allow 30 more years of life through a flight of rebirth.

Its’ long and sharp beak becomes bent
Its’ old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its’ chest and make it difficult to fly.
Then, the eagle is left with only two options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its’ nest.
There the eagle knocks its’ beak against a rock until it plucks it out.
After plucking it out, the eagle will wwaaiitt ffoorr aa nneeww bbeeaakk ttoo ggrrooww bbaacckk aanndd tthheenn iitt wwiillll pplluucckk oouutt iittss’’ ttaalloonnss..

And after five months, the eagle takes its’ famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years
