Scientific Name: *Aquila heliaca*
The Imperial Eagle is a migratory bird that visits Kuwait in October; some individuals spend the winter in Kuwait and parts of the Arabian Peninsula, while their migration extends as far as certain African countries.
The Imperial Eagle feeds on various birds, reptiles, and rodents, thereby helping to maintain ecological balance.
In early spring, the Imperial Eagle returns to its breeding grounds, which span areas from Eastern Europe and Kazakhstan to Russia, Mongolia, and China.
