Dear Cory,

Not really. They are territorial, which means that they don't like other
birds to be too close. Bald eagle parents watch their babies very closely,
though, and protect them from enemies. The parents cooperate in feeding
the baby, but they don't let other eagles help.

Eagles fight over available food too. Sometimes many eagles gather at a
dead animal, but they are not cooperating!

Thanks for your question.

Talk to you again soon,
Neil
