Do you know that eagle has the longest life-span of its species?
It can live up to 70 years.. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision in its 40's..
Its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food.. Its long and sharp beak becomes bent.. Its old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its chest and make it difficult to fly..
Then, the eagle is left with only two options, die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days..
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest.. The the eagle knocks it's beak against a rock until it plucks it out.. After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its talons.. When its new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its old-aged feathers..
And after 5 months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years...
* From this story i've learn that in order to survive we have to start a change process.. :-))
