Behavior

Movement

Golden eagles fly around randomly, preferring to fly towards tree tops. They will swim when in water.

Hunting

Untamed golden eagles are hostile towards other animals. Their movement speed increases drastically when aggro'ed, and upon contact with their target they will throw their prey into the air. They can only throw mobs that have less max health than them into the air. After killing prey, they will not hunt until a cool down time has passed.

Golden eagles will attack anything that damages them, including players.

Taming

Golden eagles can be tamed with raw rabbit, rotten flesh, small bird meat, or chicken. Tamed golden eagles no longer attack other animals without the owner's command and will follow their owner. They will sit when right clicked, and attack anything the owner attacks.

(1.16) They can also be made to wander/follow by using a stick on them.

Breeding

Golden eagles display sexual dimorphism, with females being much larger than males. Golden eagles can be bred with chicken, rabbit, rotten flesh or small bird meat. They lay 1-3 eggs per clutch, and each egg has a 40% chance to hatch, making them somewhat difficult to breed.

Spawning

Because of their versatile nature, golden eagles spawn in a variety types of biomes, including plains, forests, mountains, sandy biomes and wastelands. They will spawn solitary or in pairs. Their default spawn weight is 5.
