Harpy Eagle

Harpy Eagles are giant birds,I mean like a large eagle,not a Diatryma(a Diatryma is a ginormous bird the size of trees when the dinosaurs lived).They build huge nests-the size of a double bed!They build these gigantic nests on the high treetops.Parents raise one chick at a time and take turns hunting for monkeys,sloths and opossums,which they snatch from tree branches and rip into tiny bits to feed to the chick.After a few weeks the chicks are ready for flight.
