Question
hello M.Lederer, please, 1.what is pressure force talons golden eagle ; great horned ; bald eagle ; harpy eagle ? 2.what is bite force macaw parrot ; eagle ; vulture ? merci beaucoup.
Unfortunately, this question is much too detailed for me to answer off the top of my head. I would have to go into the ornithological literature and spend hours researching the answers, and frankly, I'm not sure anyone has done the research on all these birds. Can you tell me what you need this information for?
