Watch Bald Eagles Feed a Cat to Their Eaglets

1 minute read

Usually animal lovers are lucky if they tune into a web cam of their favorite creature and see it awake, eating, or engaging in any kind of action at all. Well, there was a lot of action — perhaps a little too much — on a live cam of a family of bald eagles on Tuesday, when the parents fed their eaglets a cat.

The feline was probably dead when the birds brought it to the nest, the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania said in a statement on Facebook. The post said “While many may cringe at this, the eagles bring squirrels, rabbits, fish (and other animals) into the nest to eat multiple times each day.”
