The Eagle Story... Changes for Survival....
EAGLE can live up to 70 years, but to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision in its' 40's
Its' long & flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food, Its' long & sharp beak becomes bent
Its' old-aged & heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its' chest & make it difficult to fly
Then eagle is left with only 2 options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires that eagle fly to a mountain & the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it plucks it out
After this, eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back. When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers & after 5 months, eagle can take its' flight of rebirth & lives for 30 more years
Moral of Story...
Many times, in order to survive, we have to start a change process. We sometimes need to get rid of Old memories, habits & other past traditions. Only freed from past Burdens, we can take advantage of the present. So lets Change for a better tomorrow!!!

I read this with some interest.
However, I am not able to find any other reference to this phenomenon in the life of the Eagle.
Could the author give the source?
Maj Gen Surjit Singh
The story is not true but serves as an example for the moral behind it.
there is a refernece in Bible the Book of Isaiah chapter 40, words 31 says "those who hopes in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles'
pSALMS 103: 5 reads " who satisfies your desire s with good things, so that your youth is reniewed like the eagles's"
The story can be authentic and generally accepted if only you make your source known.
Why post a comment about an Eagle as fact if all information around doesn't support. Tell a story to make a point. Don't make up lies to make a point. Then the point is lost forever. All you remember is the lie. Like Satan who lied to Eve and said: "Oh, you will never die if you eat from this tree." Genesis 3:4 Adam and Eve died and we die today.
all of you guys are funny if you know the true story then tell it to us.
Very nice read Jijin. Nice to read this. It tells you how important change is in life. It is very important to adopt and adapt.
