Does a bald eagle provide parental care?

Yes, Bald eagles are known for providing extensive parental care to their young. After the eggs are laid, both the male and female eagle take turns incubating them for a period of about 35 days, with the female taking longer shifts. Once the chicks hatch, they are cared for intensively for several months. Both parents actively feed the eaglets by bringing food to the nest, tearing it into small pieces, and offering it to the chicks. They also protect them from predators and harsh weather conditions. This care continues until the young eaglets are strong enough to fledge and leave the nest, which usually happens around 2-3 months of age.
