I was just sent a powerpoint slide show claiming that Bald Eagles have to replace their beaks and talons after 40 years in order to live another 30 years. Most of this sounds "hokey".
Would one of you raptor experts tell me the average age of Bald Eagles, and if they have any trouble with their beaks become curved over the years.
