A bald eagle is a hunter or a predator which means it hunts and kills its own food. They will eat either dead or alive meat, but alive might be a little messy considering they will literally have to kill it themselves. So the answer to your question is YES, eagles will eat dead meat. Hocheman120, Dm8r, and Devoidshilo
Strange. I was discussing this very issue with a guy who said only vultures eat carrion, eagles will eat live food only. The very next day I was driving in northern MN and saw huge Bald Eagle eating from a have-gone white tail deer. Eagles eat carrion.
Bald Eagles and other Birds of Prey kill what they caught before eating it, although they will not turn down a free lunch such as a fresh bit of road kill. I kept the 3 Red Hawk hatchlings in my back yard full of fresh squirrel meat last spring and it looks like mom and pop are sprucing up the old nest for another brood.
no, they swallow them while they're still alive. didn't you know?
They have to be freshly dead. They'll eat any kind of road kill even but get rather finicky after a few hours.
Golden eagle do eat fish. They also eat other birds, rodents, reptiles. Eagles can be scavengers, eating carrion of other animal kills.
Bald eagles will sometimes scavenge dead animals. Most birds of prey will.
