Editing v0.31 Talk:Giant eagle

== Best "Common" War Animal? ==

I've seen these things in battle and, to be honest, they've done more damage in shorter time then many Dwarven soldiers wielding iron/bronze weapons.

I say most powerful "common" War animal because, frankly, a War Dragon can arguably take out entire sieges on their own, however Giant Eagles seem to be incredibly common with Elven caravans, unlike other animals such as Tigers (which I've heard are perhaps more well rounded then Eagles.) --[[User:Canuhearmenow|Canuhearmenow]] 13:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
:Depends on where your elves live. I never got any giant eagles with elven caravans, but once I got desert scorpions.--[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 16:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)



I have a bunch of questions about breeding these birds. How long does it take to "make" a new eagle? I've bought a tamed female from elves and wild male flies over my location. Will the breed this way?(cuz i've heard, animals in DF are having sex regardless of distance and other obstacles) Where will the little eagle appear(in mom's cage or flying near dad?)? Will it be tame or wild?  P.S. sorry for my English, it's not my native language...

== Butchering returns ==

when i butchered one i received 1 Giant eagle feather, 2 prepared giat eagle lungs, 1 prepared giant eagle heart, 1 prepared giant eagle intestines, 1 chopped eagle liver, 1 giant eagle tripe, 1 giant eagle sweetbread, 1 prepared giant eagle spleen, 2 prepared giant eagle kidneys, 1 giant eagle skin, 12 giant eagle fat, 18 giant eagle meat, 1 giant eagle nervous tissue, 1 prepared giant eagle brain, 1 giant eagle skull, 23 giant eagle bone, this was a giant eagle corpse not a mutalated corpse

−	:The best method to catching any aggressive wild animal is a baited trap. Find where the animal you want to catch frequents and build a small 3x1 area enclosed with walls on all but one end with a roof. Put a cage trap on the first tile from the opening, nothing on the second tile, and a chain/rope on the last tile at the end. Chain an animal up as bait (puppy, kitten, whatever you have available) and wait. If the animal sees the bait animal, it will get caught in the cage trap trying to attack it. The structure design I described isn't necessarily perfect, but it is efficient on space and trap usage. Remember to keep the chain one tile away from the trap, or the chained animal might stand on the trap and prevent the eagle from getting caught. --[[User:Vanguard\|Vanguard]] 23:33, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
