This largest Eagle of Armenia is quite adaptable and can easily switch between different food items, such as hare, bezoar goat, fox, partridge, and other medium sized prey. This species is a very powerful hunter, which kills the prey with its strong toes and claws. In the same time, the Golden Eagles often feed on carrion. That is why it finds a breeding destination from lowlands up to sub-alpine area. It breeds on high cliffs, building its huge nests on the covered ledges to stay safe and secure of land predators. The only place which is not inhabited by Golden Eagle is the dense deciduous forest, where this long-winged raptor faces difficulty to fly between tree trunks. Golden Eagles are usually laying two eggs, but as a rule, the shortage of food causes survival only one – stronger nestling, which kills its peer.
