The Philippine Eagle

The Philippine Eagle loves to live in places like the rainforests. However, many of

the Philippine eagles are now found in only few islands.

 The rainforests they inhabited before had been destroyed by loggers. Loggers

have cut the trees down where many eagles live in.

The Philippine Eagle has become our national bird because of its strength and

speed. There are many things that the Philippine Eagle can do. It can fly form the

ground straight up and above the trees with great ease. It also eats monkeys, pigs,

goats and squirrels. It lives up to 60 years. This is why it is called the “King of Birds”.
