Would the l'il eagles be doing any hunting of their own yet or are they still dependent on their parents for food?

I read somewhere that they'll likely follow their parents around for a bit, learning to hunt. For now, they've been getting room service at the various trees they've perched in, as well as returning to the nest occasionally for snacks and visits.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jun 2025, 12:32pmWould the l'il eagles be doing any hunting of their own yet or are they still dependent on their parents for food?

And also something called kleptoparasitism which is just a fancy word for stealing food off each other.Sparky wrote: ↑10 Jun 2025, 2:51pmI read somewhere that they'll likely follow their parents around for a bit, learning to hunt.

Reading up on the FOBBV website and updates page, they may stick around for 1-3 months, then their grand journey begins, which could be up to 1000 miles away, where they'll establish their own territory.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jun 2025, 3:07pmThanks for the info.
