Sadly we've hit a few out western Queensland. We come up over the crest of a hill and one was feeding on roadkill in the middle of the road . We couldn't stop in time. I felt gutted. I hate seeing animals killed for no reason
Hey - I'm a little late on this comment - but you are simply wow! fearless - the bird is beautiful. you are so relaxed. the bird is too. you are an extraordinary person. you really are. magnificent the both of you together.
Oh heck yeah. Wedgies wont attack humans, but if you attack one they will give you a very hard time. The only other predator that could really take them on in australia would be a dingo, and dingos arent interested in attacking a bird that MIGHT beat them in a fight. Actually they do attack airplanes sometimes lol
I remember pulling into my driveway in the country one day at just before dusk and seeing what I thought were two big dogs eating some road kill..it was two huge Wedgies eating a young roo. I’ll never forget the size of them. Strangely enough I went on to work on the RAAF/Boeing Wedgetail Project at Amberley, I was equally impressed…..maybe a little less so than the real thing.
Thankyou for this We had two nests on our property, always thought abandoned till one year had pair back. Hard to tell if lost stock to them but as drought certainly carrion for them to feed on. When annoyed by polotics beyond our control like to think these guys dive bomb Pine Gap for shits & giggles
@@macromicro3609 yeah lots of pet cat lovers but real Aussies know pet cats kill the beautiful native fauna too, and they pee on your car rancid buggers

Dingos aren’t particularly aggressive, unless desperation and hunger has packed them together to take down bigger food anything bigger than they are will be avoided.
@Deinonychusaurus Damage is a risk to any predator, nothing in its right mind likes being eaten. Your point about the eagle winning would be the more relevant one.
@Deinonychusaurus Hahaha! Possibly! While they might be capable of a good fight don't forget they were outcompeted by the dingo on the mainland which is why they were only on Tasmania when they were hunted to extinction, we don't know how much of that openly aggressive since it doesn't take long for behavior to change in a species.
@Deinonychusaurus Five hundred years. The dingo arrived in Australia through Asian/Aboriginal trades 3500 years ago - five hundred years before the Thylacine disappeared from the mainland, that's a pretty good time frame for a larger species to get loose, breed, spread and outcompete another animal. Especially when that animal was already limited to southern regions. Mainland Thylacine was a cool, dense forest predator that really only inhabited coastal southeastern and south central areas of Australia and was much smaller than the Tasmanian Thylacine; 20-30% smaller and 20-30% smaller than the southern dingoes as well. Doglike enough to get an aggressive territorial response and disadvantaged enough in size and being solitary rather than pack animals to lose that confrontation very consistently. It's happening to the dingoes now in a similar fashion. Dogs have been in Aus for just under two hundred and fifty years and are outcompeting the dingo by forming larger packs quicker than the dingo and breeding them out of existance, dogs breed twice a year while the dingo breeds once so while dingo blood is still pretty common pure dingo populations are limited back to small, isolated areas like Frasier Island.
most raptors in captivity are either falconry birds or disabled and cannot be released. from the presentation im assuming she is disabled-it would be more inhumane to release her. of course there are exceptions but often those exceptions are not with protected species and instead with the exotic pet trade, a pet owl in the house is a cruel cruel thing.
i love how eagles are genuinely gorgeous and terrifying but their calls sound less intimidating than a kookaburra x3
It's basically a flying Velociraptor.
Actually, the Steller's sea eagle would be the flying Velociraptor. Wedge tail eagles are more of the Achillobators of the raptor family.
Such a magnificent Australian bird.
I agree
Gutted this cut off mid way through. An engaging explanation of a majestic animal
I went to this place - the Raptor Park in Knagaroo Island. It was fantastic. And gave a great life to rescued birds.
Is it a good place to visit? Because i like eagles and i've been wanting to see some

Isn't she just gorgeous xx
I've never seen these guys in the wild on their own. Always in a pairs. Wedgies mate for life and I suspect they pair up pretty early in life.

****THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO****
I like to watch the eagle the most. It’s such a big eagle! It looks like a golden eagle😮
Magnificent creature, nothing will mess with that ?. I believe her..

One of my favorite kinds of eagles.

My fascination with eagles will never end, I just admire and respect them so much ❤
This is also Australian military mascot pet
Drones aren't fond of them either. lol
So informative thank you
She is a beautiful bird
Fascinating species
this is my totem

Heaps more regal than a bald eagle.
I think the most beautiful eagle is Philippines eagle and this one is hot🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Killer bird
Kangaroo island is boss
Holy fuck
ate my favorite wood duck
Eating an adult red kangaroo 🦘 😮 wtf!!!!
"Nothing's going to attack an adult eagle"
Not a dingo?

@Deinonychusaurus The ones that were extinct before even the Aboriginals arrived let alone the dingoes?
Not exactly a likely option.

A good eagle but unfortunately not available here in Pakistan
What is your point?
These eagles are found in Australia and are protected.
Look what u guys have done to the wildlife in Pakistan..
I hate seeing these birds in captivity. It’s inhumane

this bird might be injured/disabled so she can't survive in the wild
I dont think these birds should be a protected species. How can this law be changed?
Why not?
@@jimbojones806 Probably wants to export them
You scared of birds
Good thing it doesn’t matter what you think
People like you are the reason they are protected. Leave wedgies alone, they are beautiful apex predators.
