Harpy Eagles Are So Big That They Look Like a Tall Human Being in a Bird Costume

Big birds are absolutely terrifying. My worst nightmare is getting chased by a large bird and eventually getting caught and decapitated. That's even before I was introduced to harpy eagles; now I'm even more petrified because these enormous birds are so intimidating and huge!

They constantly look majestic and proud, and some even say that they resemble a person wearing a bird costume, or Bird Person from Rick and Morty.

It's a bird that you definitely would not want to mess with; they are, after all, birds of prey, and there are two types: the American and the Papuan. They are also the largest and most powerful raptors found in rainforests. Their wingspan can reach up to 7 feet and 4 inches (224 centimeters), but they weigh only 8.5 to 20 pounds (3.8 to 9 kilograms).
