Famed NYC eagle killed in vehicle collision
Officials who are monitoring incidents affecting the eagle population in the United States are revealing a lingering danger that could cause a decline in the birds’ presence.

“The deadly metal accumulates in an eagle’s system over the course of life, meaning that there is no safe amount of lead exposure. For this reason, lead is often called ‘the silent killer,'” the post also noted. He added that birds will often eat those carcasses or remains — making them highly susceptible to lead poisoning.
