A wing-clipped Meyer's parrot perching on a drawer handle. While clipping is endorsed by some avian veterinarians, others oppose it.

African fish eagles breed during the dry season, when water levels are low. They are believed to mate for life. [12] [13] Pairs often maintain two or more nests, which they frequently reuse. Because nests are reused and built upon over the years, they can grow quite large, some reaching 2.0 m (6.5 ft) across and 1.2 m (3.9 ft) deep.
