The eagle has the longest life-span of its species.
It can live upto 70 yrs. But to reach this age, the eagle must take a hard decision.
In its' 40’s
It’s long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food. It’s long and sharp beak becomes bent. Its’ old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its’ chest and make it difficult to fly.
Then, the eagle is left with two options – die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on its’ nest.
There the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until its plucks it out. After plucking it out, the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its’ talon.
When its’ new talon grow back, the eagle starts plucking its’ old–aged feather.
And after five months, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years.
Why is change needed?
Many a times in order to survive one has to start a change process.
We sometimes need to get rid of old memories, sinful habits and other past traditions.
Only freed from past burdens, Can we take advantage of the present.
