Eagles and their brutal methods during famine seasons
The passage recounts eagles killing their weak offspring and banishing fledglings, driven by famine. It cites cases of eagle nests robbed by humans, including a man who clipped nestlings’ wings to delay flight and a peasant who, after stealing eaglets on a lake island, faced fatal retaliation from the parents. It notes risks to children and mentions Ganymede. It also references northern Britain and an Orkney law cited by Camden.
