How do eagles interact with other bird species?

Eagles are apex predators and can be aggressive towards other bird species. They tend to have a dominant presence and will compete with other birds for resources, such as food and nesting sites.

However, eagles also have symbiotic relationships with other bird species. They may hunt in a cooperative manner with other raptors or share nesting sites with other birds such as ospreys.

Eagles also have a territorial nature and will defend their territory from other birds, especially during the breeding season. However, there are some species of birds that have adapted to living in close proximity to eagles, such as ravens and crows. These birds have been observed stealing food from eagles and even harassing them.
