The Philippine Eagle has a kind face. I couldn’t help thinking this–me, the anthropomorphism hater– as I watched a pair of Philippine Eagles tend their nest, raise a chick, and tear monkeys apart in Bird of Prey: The Story of the Rarest Eagle on Earth , a well-crafted, beautifully filmed documentary with a mission.
That is mainly the Philippines, as indicated by the species name lucionensis (Luzon is the Philippines’ biggest island). A paper by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of the Philippines argues that trapping the parrot is essentially a way of wasting money.
I got rather carried away showing all the plumages you can see around a breeding colony, which means I had to split my post on the species into two.
