  • It takes 70-84 days for a young eagle to fledge. Compared to a humming- bird and robin, eagles wings are big and heavy and have many more feathers. It takes time for all the feathers to grow and the bones to get strong. They have trouble catching fish and flying when young. Hummingbirds and robins know how to find food by instinct and leave the nest quickly. The first year for an eagle is a learning process. Mother eagles teach their young to hunt.
