    Eagles carry their prey with their talons instead of their bills for
    reasons of survial and for the daily meals for example:

       * If they need to scare others from their nest
         while its bringing food for the young ones.
       * Its talons are sharper so if the creature
         it is carry is still alive somehow, its talons will make sure it is
         ready to be eaten later.
       * The talons have a better grip on slippery
         fish.
       * If the creature is too big for the bill
         itself it has two feet with talons and spicules.
