[3] [30] Some nests are very large relative to the size of these eagles. One nest reached an diameter on the inside of 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) and a circumference of 3.45 m (11.3 ft). [5] Active nests are lined with green leaves. Both members of the pair participate in building new nests and take part in repairs.
However, the larger eagles (both more than twice as heavy than the hawk-eagle) primarily took hyraxes taken that were usually rather bigger than those taken by hawk-eagle, normally being at least 2,000 to 3,000 g (4.4 to 6.6 lb) for the crowned and the Verreaux's while that was the very largest sizes hunted by the hawk-eagles.

This sexual difference in size is most pronounced in active species that hunt birds, such as the Accipiter hawks, in which the size difference averages 25–50%. In a majority of species, such as generalist hunters and rodent -, reptile -, fish -, and insect -hunting specialists, the dimorphism is less, usually between a 5% to 30% size difference.

Repeated intrusions and noisy disturbances may have a net negative effect such as on Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagles, as these factors often lead to nest failure. [8] In one case in South Australia, the removal of a dead tree in the vicinity of a wedge-tailed eagle nest resulted in full abandonment of the nest by the parents. [181]
