What protection level does the eagle hold as a national protected animal? Explained clearly in one article

In our country, the eagle is a national protected animal of at least the second level, and it is strictly forbidden to capture, sell, buy, keep, or harm them. Their lifespan is generally 50 years, and they lay 2-5 eggs at a time, but usually only 1 young eagle survives. At present, there are many kinds of eagles on Earth, and below we will briefly introduce several of them.

Types of Eagles

1. Northern Goshawk

The Northern Goshawk is also called the goshawk, tooth hawk, yellow hawk, harrier hawk, or yuan hawk. The female is noticeably larger than the male. It mainly feeds on forest rodents, hares, pheasants, hazel grouse, doves and pigeons, and other small birds. The Northern Goshawk is very alert by nature and also good at hiding. It usually moves alone, and its call is sharp and loud. It is found in temperate forests and boreal forests throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

2. Eurasian Sparrowhawk

The Eurasian Sparrowhawk feeds on small passerine birds, insects, and rodents, and also preys on columbiform birds and small galliform birds such as hazel grouse, and sometimes also preys on hares, snakes, and insect larvae. It is generally partly resident and partly migratory. In spring, it migrates to its breeding grounds in April-May, and in autumn it leaves the breeding grounds in October-November.

3. Chinese Sparrowhawk

The Chinese Sparrowhawk is also called the goose hawk, red-nosed shipai lu harrier, or pigeon hawk. Because its appearance resembles a pigeon, it is also called the pigeon hawk. Its body length is 27-36 cm, and its weight is 108-132 g. From the head to the back it is blue-gray, and the wings and tail feathers are grayish brown. It mainly feeds on animal foods such as frogs and lizards, and also eats small birds, rodents, and insects.

At present, it is very difficult for us to see eagles in the wild. If we want to see them and observe them up close, we can only go to major zoos.
