In its importance and groundbreaking brilliance. Please read the presentation below for more about John Gould, known as the father of Australian ornithology, and his exquisitely decorated masterpiece. The first comprehensive tome on Aussie bird life. The Wedge-Tailed Eagle is the largest bird of prey native to Australia. Female Wedge-Tailed Eagles weigh between 7 and 12 pounds, while the smaller males weigh between 5 and 9 pounds. The largest wingspan ever verified for any eagle worldwide was for this species-a female killed in Tasmania in 1931 had a wingspan of 9.3 ft (2.84 m), while another female measured barely smaller at 9.1 ft (2.79 m). Despite its great size and wingspan, this powerful but slenderly built avian usually weighs less than a couple of other species of large eagle. The Wedge-Tailed Eagle nests in a range of old-growth native forests. Nests always occur in tall open forests. 95% of nests occur in emergent trees in old-growth eucalyptus forests. Wedgies usually pair for life. When courting and pair-bonding, the pair performs aerial displays. Courtship usually starts in June and by August the nest is ready for an egg. One or, less commonly, two, eggs are laid. Eggs are whitish-gray with a few brown spots. The period from hatching to fledging lasts 90 days, by which age a chick can feed itself. After fledging the juvenile remains near the nest for several weeks. A subspecies is a landscape hunter with a wide distribution on mainland Tasmania, including its large offshore islands, along the coast and inland on the highlands. Is listed as endangered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). With fewer than 200 pairs left in the wild. Like the Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger), the eagle was once subject to a bounty in Tasmania, as it was believed to prey on livestock. Decreasing numbers of Tasmanian Devils may be beneficial to the Wedge-Tailed Eagles in Tasmania, as it could reduce competition for roadkill and devil predation on young eagles. Wedge-Tailed Eagles are highly aerial, soaring for hours on end without wingbeat or effort, regularly reaching 6,000 feet (1,800 meters), and sometimes considerably higher. The purpose of this very high flight is unknown. Their keen eyesight extends into the infrared and ultraviolet bands. This helps them spot prey and allows them to see rising thermals, which they can use to gain altitude while expending little energy. Most prey is captured on the ground in gliding attacks or (less frequently) in the air. Choice of prey is very much a matter of convenience and opportunity: since the arrival of Europeans, the introduced rabbit and brown hare have become the primary items of the eagle’s diet in many areas. The Wedge-Tails can eat almost anything of a suitable size, live-caught or as carrion. Wedgies display considerable adaptability, and have sometimes been known to team up to hunt animals as large as the Red Kangaroo, to cause goats to fall off steep hillsides and injure themselves, or to drive flocks of sheep or kangaroos to isolate a weaker animal. John Gould and The Birds of Australia. John Gould FRS was an English ornithologist. He published a number of monographs on birds, illustrated by plates produced by his wife, artist Elizabeth Gould, and several other artists. In 1838 John Gould and his wife Elizabeth, a talented painter and illustrator, sailed to Australia from England, intending to study the birds of that country and be the first to produce a major work on the subject. Shortly after their return to England, Elizabeth Gould died in 1841. She completed 84 plates for. Before her untimely death at the age of just 37. The result of the Goulds’ trip was the seminal.
