A fantastic replica of a noble raptor!

It stands balanced on its feet and tail. The word "EAGLE" is molded on the bottom. This sturdy, durable raptor is also excellent for school projects, novelties, party favors or even as a children's toy. You can make a wonderful birds of prey shoebox diorama using this and other plastic creatures from our gift shop. Best of all, there is no mess, no feeding, and no tank or cage cleaning :) Come look through our entire collection of eagle toys and gifts.

About American Bald Eagles


Bald eagles are large predatory sea birds who follow waterways to reach inland areas. They are found only in North America. Bald eagles can fly up to 30 mph, and can dive up to 100 mph.This explains why they are so adept at snatching fish out of the water with their feet. Mature bald eagles generally weigh between 9-12 pounds, with a wing span of about 7 feet. Bald eagles mate for life. A female usually lays 2-3 eggs a year. By three months of age, her young are able to fly, and are often on their own a month later. Bald eagles reuse their nests, adding more nesting material each time it is reused. Because of this, some nests reach as much as 10 feet across, and can weigh as much as 2000 pounds. Strict conservation efforts have enabled the bald eagle's status to be upgraded from "endangered" to "threatened" in the lower 48 states.

Eagle eye?

Every summer I'm reminded that I am clearly not the only fish lover along my favorite river. This bald eagle flies overhead chirping merrily and swoops down and retrieves fish regularly. Hiding among the brambles of the nest is a furry fledgling that periodically pops it head up and surveys the countryside from its aerie. Tapir and Friends Animal Store has a wide selection of both exotic and common plastic birds, including some eagle jewelry and some fine plastic bald eagle replicas. Heavens no, this is not an American bald eagle. The picture was shot in British Columbia!
