What happens if eaglet dies in nest?

If an eaglet dies in the nest, the parents may remove the carcass to maintain the cleanliness of the nest and reduce the risk of disease. In some cases, the surviving siblings may exhibit behaviors like pecking or aggression towards the deceased eaglet. The loss can impact the remaining eaglets, as they might have to compete more fiercely for food and parental attention. Additionally, the parents may continue to care for the surviving eaglets to ensure their survival and growth.
