Bird of Prey, the multi-award-winning feature-length documentary from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, weaves a remarkable story of the world's rarest eagle species and the heroic individuals working tirelessly to save it. Since its release in 2018, Bird of Prey, has screened to countless audiences around the world and throughout the Philippines where the film has become an invaluable tool for raising awareness and support for conservation of the critically endangered Philippine Eagle.
The Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) is a private non-profit organization dedicated to conserving the critically endangered Philippine Eagle, preserving its rainforest habitat, and working with the communities that share its home. In addition to scientific research, public education, and culture-based conservation, they operate the only breeding and rehabilitation facility for the species in the world — the Philippine Eagle Center (PEC) in Davao City.

For me, these creatures are masterpieces of nature. If you find it in your first try, you are a very lucky person. --"What do you think?"
--"I think it's generous to call that a hike. That's climbing!" --"You know what the good news is? We're an eighth of our way there." It's got this beautiful crest that stands up, these beautiful blue eyes, and its got bone-crushing, powerful feet. --"I just saw that, if I can be quick, we might have a chance, over." I gotta get this camera built, you gotta th
ink clearly so you don't drop anything. Given the rarity of this bird, we cannot take chances. --"Skip or Laura, come in, over." --"Yeah, Neil?” --"We’ve got a baby Philippine Eagle." All of our islands suffered deforestation. No one was watching so they just cut with impunity. —“The baby is so fragile." "I think a cold rain could kill a young eagle in an hour and a half, two hours." We have to move on to attitude and that's something you feel in your guts. Where other people find excuses not to
do things, you find a way to make it happen. It's a race against time and time's not on their side. What it has for the human spirit is immeasurable. "I personally, cannot stand the thought of these masterpieces becoming extinct. And so, there's a handful of people that want to do something about it. And I'm one of them.”

1:33 and 1:39 Those cries break my heart. Bless all the baby Philippine eagles, and may nature be kind to them and nurture them to their survival. :'(
The Gem, not only of the Philippines, but of the entire world of Eagles...
Netflix can help a lot if they air this.
When I was a kid ..living in mindanao ..this was my ultimate dream to see the Philippine EAGLE . Till today .. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
The sight of these eagles indeed takes my breath away. We should all be so wondrously grateful to Cornel and others who are so moved to protect and save these birds. Thank you.
This moved me to tears. I’m a Filipino and just thinking about these birds becoming extinct because of our selfishness abd greed breaks my heart. Thank you to all those who helped preserve this magical creature. Looking forward.
What a magnificent bird of God's creation! How sad it would be if mankind destroyed this species. Thank you for what you are doing to see that this does not happen. Looking forward to the movie.
Oh!!! I want to see this!! We need more people involved in conservation and not destruction. Everyone should see this!
I was actually very lucky to touch one when one of the care takers are cleaning their cages on Davao Malagos Eagle Sanctuary.I would really cherish that day forever and tell my future children about it.sometimes when I saw one flying freely in the sky while we were travelling I was so fascinated they are really beautiful.Well my grandmother was a retired DSWD she told me the PH eagles are very important because they are mother natures gift
Takes my breath away they are so beautiful!!! Thank you Cornell for this wonderful trailer. Looking forward to the entire movie!!
The Philippine Eagle in my opinion is the perfect representation of eagles. It's like the lord of all birds. Apart from the crest, its beaks makes it look more fearsome. Every feature of this bird is almost perfect!
Stunning trailer and I really hope this species can remain here for centuries to come! Can't wait for the full movie!!
All cultures of old used to learn from them, Native Americans learned medicine from the birds, the eagle being the most knowledgeable. Today, we discard them as if they’re replaceable, as if they’re too stupid to feel pain. I watch the bald eagle by our river for hours if he allows. He deploys a flock of sand crane without uttering a word. He calls out just before dark, letting the birds know that it’s time to retreat for the night. He has an Osprey as a right hand that comes during the spring and summer, the best fisherman I’ve ever seen. No matter how high we build or how decorated our clothing, nothing is as majestic as the eagle. Learn from them, learn from all of the birds. They do not need us, we need them.
Wowwwww! Amazing creature God's Wonder Thank you Sir
This is the Philippine Eagle need. Exposure to the Worlds. a documented film I am so exited
There are tears in my eyes already, I can't wait to watch this
I really want to go see these guys. Probably one of the world's most spectacular birds.
I hope they can bring the Phillippine eagle back the way we were able to bring back the Bald Eagle.
I cannot lose the thought of losing Masterpieces of the world. Thank you for sharing.
My favorite raptor...amazing how their skills translates into their environment and the care for the chicks.
