Birds that start with E

Eagles are large birds of prey with strong, hooked beaks. They usually hunt small animals and other birds. There are a huge variety of eagles, and they are found all over the world.

An eider is a type of sea duck. It lives on cold coasts and islands in the far north, often nesting on the ground near the sea. Eiders feed by diving for small sea creatures such as shellfish and fish. What makes them especially well known is that they line their nests with soft down, which people collect.
