The world's most powerful raptor 

My favorite bird. What a beautiful animal.

Harpy eagle is my favourite and it is the strongest in the world

Would have loved to see the now extinct Haast's Eagle. But I'd be more than content to see one of these beauties flying through the rainforest. A truly spectacular predator

Brazilian Harpy 🇧🇷🇧🇷

God, I hope they don't go extinct, They are legit one of the most dinosaur-like birds alive, Dont want em ending up like their ancestors.

That raptor is cautious of his hand 😂😂

very majestic looking bird ,really beautiful to see .hope you breed them to put back in the wild i heard there numbers are smaller every year.

That bird has HAD it with your shenanigans 🤣

Philippine eagle left the group!

What other sounds harpy eagles make other than that "croak"?

Mr. Rettig, I'm interested in the behavior of the bird when it's on your arm. Is the bird nervous, showing dominance, angry with you, playing with you ? It would be interesting to know what those pecks he's trying to give you are and what that open mouth means. I notice you don't seem especially anxious, although obviously he could seriously injure you if he wanted to. I've read elsewhere that certain birds used in falconry, like golden eagles and gyrfalcons, can be quite a handful on the fist because of aggressive behavior and are not for inexperienced falconers. I'm guessing this bird is not for amateurs either.

Duckeagle confirmed!

OH MY!! I am so grateful to you for sharing this amazing video!! - clearly your work is all about healthy conservation of some kind of these masterful birds? - The NG society relies heavily upon such close encounters with such predatory animals, especially those whose natural habitats and behaviours remain steadily on the incline. 😄😄😄😄😄😄

I wonder what's in that bird's mind…

Philippine eagles sound like a bird, calmer, bigger and good looking.

bird looked very badass until quacking ...

Anyone else get nervous when he was dangling his fingers in front of the eagle’s razor sharp beak?

Philippine eagle : hold my looks

Brave as hell !!

He looks aggressive

That's a male...Females are twice the size.

I have a question. Lived in Wisconsin most my life, so I know how cold it gets there. How does the Harpy Eagle fare when the temperature plummets in the winter?

What other movies has your Harpe been in? I would love to see him some more. Thanks

If golden eagles can kill the wolf, they can probably kill lions

What an intense animal to work with. Gorgeous bird though

I wish to be this fearless wow

They're my only eagle I like. :3

quack quack

you seem quite scared from your harpy.... It ever harmed you?

piekna harpia💜

Wow !

I think 🤔 he wants a mouse 🐁

Poor sloths.

I want one plz

I want to adobe one any way to contact you??

The bird seems to be very distressed even if it tolerates some touch.

wow.....................................................................harpi

old guy needs to build stronger arms lol

Jealous North Americans, you have not this animal. It is native of SOUTH AND CENTRAL America!

I’m trying to acquire a single Harpy Tail Feather if anyone knows how to acquire one..

It looks...

Now compare that to a dinosaur such as a acheroraptor. You can see they look and act literally the same, except the flying part.

Ots funny how the way hou have to stolen animals from brazil... stop to stolen animals from my country

hasst egale/ paoukai: mau taku pia

What does he feed his harpy??

how can I get a pet harpy eagle..... I live in south Dakota farmland ???

Eurasian lynx can defeating this eagle easily with claws,jump and jaws.

This is a male. Females get even larger.
