Do they eat fish, Frank?
Yes, they are very fond of fish. The eagle is a large and strong bird. Mamma' saw one take up a rabbit and fly off with it.
I wish we could catch one, Frank. How funny it would look in a cage!
Yes, sister, but you would have to get a much larger cage than the one your redbirds have.
O I am afraid it would hurt me. If it got out of the cage, it would fly away with me.
No, it could not do that, but it could hurt you with its strong beak.
What is its beak, Frank?
The beak is its mouth. All birds have a beak, but not many have one so strong as that of the eagle.
