Description
When: April 21, 2017Where: Dierenpark De Oliemeulen Tilburg, The Netherlands
The last photo of this more than handsome, truly friendly, very curious and enigmatic Steppe Eagle
He would follow us with his gaze when we moved, twisting and turning and making himself more than memorable
Species: Steppe Eagle (Steppearend)
Latin Name: Aquila nipalensis
Originates from East Europe to Mongolia for breeding and resides in India and Africa during winter
Current status: Least Concern

Those are tthe best moments to photograph them if you ask me
Birds can make it really easy to take beautiful photos, but it's the weird moments that stand out

Yeah, he was kind of like an owl with the way he was twisting and turning

birds have twice as many vertebrees in the neck as we do, so they are pretty flexible.
all birds, not just Owls.

I didn't notice it, but it makes sense when watching her antics - she was doing everything I'd only ever seen an owl do

She was so much fun, really enjoyed spending time with her

So flexible.
What would an X-ray of that position look like? Probably pretty funny.

He kept twisting and turning around, so adorable and really an all new look of an eagle

How lucky you were to catch that. You should have video taped it

I know it's a late reply, but I did some digging in my archives, as I knew I had done a few "burst/bracket" photo sessions with this bird, where the camera takes multiple pictures in a short time-span. I put one of these in sta.sh for your enjoyment

It kind of looks like the Steppe Eagle is trying its best to seduce the photographer.Β Β Β

Oh, he definitely succeeded
He was very interested and because of all the unusual, cute and fun movements, we took a whole lot of photos and probably spent the most with him that zoo visit

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do
Good photo

He sure that did a lot; he was very curious

It's cool that they can turn their heads like that
Great photo!

It really is - it reminded me a lot of how owls twist and turn but I didn't expect it from a steppe eagle
He sure was inquisitive, and that got some really cute and fun shots of him
Thank you!

Maybe anything with a neck like the Steppe's or an owl's can contort their necks
You're welcome!
