In order to protect themselves from predators on the ground, nests are typically constructed atop tall trees or cliffs. For each clutch, the female usually lays one to thregratis slots spelene eggs, which she then incubates for roughly forty-five days. During this time, the male and female share duties; the male hunts for food to support them both while the female incubates the eggs. The chicks are altricial after hatching, which means they are defenseless at birth and depend solely on their parents for protection & sustenance.
