The Philippine eagles

Tallest and one of the biggest

Tallest and one of the biggest

With its one-metre height, the Philippine eagle is the tallest of eagles. It tips the scales at a maximum of eight kilogrammes, which makes it one of the largest eagles in the world. Despite its massive two-metre wingspan, it weaves in and out of the dense Philippine rainforest with ease, picking off large prey like macaques as it swoops by.

Raising eaglets

Raising eaglets

Philippine eagles are monogamous and pair up for life. Usually one egg is laid and both parents take turns to incubate the egg over two months. When the chick hatches, the father takes on more hunting duties while the mother feeds it. It takes around two years to raise a chick. This low reproductive rate is also why the Philippine eagle population has been unable to recover from threats like forest destruction and hunting.

Banog the brave

Banog the brave

Legend has it that there once was a hunter who was carried away by a Banog Talutong – the name for the Philippine eagle in the local dialect – to its aerie up in the mountain cliffs. In the ensuing months, the hunter shared food with and built a bond with the eagle’s chick. When the eaglet fledged, it brought the hunter back to his home.

The hunter named his son Banog out of gratitude. This tale continues to be told among the Bagobo Tagabawa people of the Philippines. The hunter’s son is said to be the founder of the first villages of their tribe. Till today, the title Datu Banog is still given to their bravest and wisest leaders.

Together, we protect wildlife

The national bird of the Philippines, the Philippine eagle is now highly endangered. Only 400 pairs remain in the wild.

We work with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines and the Philippine Eagle Foundation to care for the species outside of its wild habitat.

We hope to contribute to the sustainability of the species’ population under human care.
