According to Dr. Fraz Mian, who serves as the spokesperson for the falconry, the paramyxovirus is thought to be to blame for this extraordinary bird’s sudden demise.
A female Mongolian golden eagle known as the Regent Empress of Asia passed away at the East Continental Falconry & Aviary (ECFA) in Pakistan, according to a news release. The Mongolian Golden Eagle was a magnificent bird that cost more than Rs. 150 million.
According to Dr. Fraz Mian, who serves as the spokesperson for the falconry, the paramyxovirus is thought to be to blame for this extraordinary bird’s sudden demise.
Both domestic and wild birds are susceptible to the effects of this virus, which can harm their nervous, respiratory, and digestive systems and ultimately result in death.
The spokesperson added that this majestic bird was between 14 and 18 months old and belonged to the Accipitridae family of Aquila Crysaetos, also known as the golden eagle.
The bird could dive at up to 320 km/h, glide at over 190 km/h, and reach horizontal speeds of over 127 km/h, among other impressive feats. Golden eagles are renowned for their dexterity, speed, and powerful, sharp talons that they use to snatch prey. The most common species of eagle in the Northern Hemisphere is the golden eagle, or Aquila chrysaetos.
It belongs to the Accipitridae family and has dark brown bodies with dark brown feathers on the napes. A white tail and white markings on the wings are common in immature eagles.
Golden eagles use their agility, speed, strong feet, and large, sharp talons to hunt a variety of prey, primarily hares, rabbits, marmots, and other ground squirrels.
They build sizeable nests in cliffs and other perches, and their home ranges can be as big as 200 km2 (77 sq mi). When a female deposits up to four eggs, the six-week incubation period begins. One or two young typically reach fledging in about three months, and they travel widely for four to five years before claiming a territory as their own.
