These eagles primarily hunt rabbits, kangaroos, and other small to medium-sized animals, using their sharp talons and keen eyesight to locate prey from great distances. They are also known for their aerial displays and strong nesting instincts, often building large nests in high trees or cliffs. The Wedge-tailed Eagle is a symbol of Australia’s diverse wildlife.
