Eagle attacks on children? They happen but the crowned eagle of Africa is the only bird to believed to have attacked children as prey. A 44-pound, 7-year-old boy was attacked by one but was rescued by a woman with a hoe. The skull of a human child was found in a crowned eagle nest. A four-year-old girl disappeared and during the search, a severed arm thought to be hers was found in a tall tree inaccessible to leopards but known as a crowned eagle cache.

  1. OK, African crowned eagle attacks. Not to say that other eagle species don’t attack humans, especially children. But the article is specifically about the African crowned eagle, which is a pretty large bird.

    As a tangent, on Saturday, I saw a bald eagle on the rocks in the Perkiomen Creek just upstream from the bridge on Schwenksville Road. It might have been feeding, since it was perched on the large rocks in the stream there.
