Stonehead Eagles
This is the symbol of the Firstborn Prince. The eagle stands for pride and strength, the swords for the army and the battles he might face. The Firstborn Prince will be first general until a new Firstborn Prince comes of age.

Basic Information
Anatomy
The stonehead eagles do look a lot like the American sea-eagle here on Earth. They are the same size, the females slightly larger than the males, the same weight and the same wing span. The only difference are their feathers and their eggs.
Genetics and Reproduction
The Stonehead eagles lay one to two eggs. When a Human sees the egg they might think that it is just an ordinary rock. Not that a human would see an egg because the eagles build their nest all the way up in the mountains. Both the father and the mother are raising their chicks until they are in their teenage stage which takes three, then they are on their own.

I quite enjoyed this! My favorite part, and this might seem a silly thing to be someone's favorite part, was the way you broke down the Growth Rate and Stages. I don't think I've seen it done like that before, and it makes total sense and makes me want to go back and add something similar to all of my own species.
Thank you Ecc, this was the first time I tried it and I think I am going to stick with it as well. Sometimes we try things out, and it works
