Life of an Eagle The life of an eagle can have some application for the Christian. We are saved, are being saved, and will be saved - our plumage is in a constant state of renewal and change. But one thing that does not change is that we are already eagles in that if God be for us, who can be against us (Rom. 8:35-39).

Do eagles really lose their talons and beak during a rejuvenation or rebirth process to prolong their lifetime by 30 years? Moreover, an eagle's talons and beak continue to grow throughout its life and therefore do not grow old and unusable as claimed in the story. And its feathers are also continually replaced. An eagle's beak and talons grow continuously, because they are made of keratin, the same substance as our hair and fingernails. Eagles molt in patches, taking almost half a year to replace feathers, starting with the head and working downward.
