A Day in the Life of Agsamon- Day 3
Look closely in the first five minutes of the video and notice Agsamon picking up sprigs in its nest bowl with its beak.
It doesnât pay much attention to Salagbanog in the other enclosure. Instead, Agsamon spends most of its time fussing over its feathers, preening them to make sure their clean.
Agsamon gently rocks forward and back a few times trying to balance as it nestles itself in. The first time youâll see it, Agsamon plops forward. And just when you think it has dozed off, Agsamon stands up again and even stretches up its wings. Watch until the end when Agsamon does a quick flight exercise flapping its wings a few times while hopping.

-------
Agsamon was merely around 2 to 3 months old when it was removed by a local from its nest in San Fernando, Bukidnon on February 24, 2021. After admission at the PEC, Agsamon was reared using a Philippine Eagle puppet. This technique helps raise the chick as though its own eagle parents took care of it in the wild. This also keeps a captive eaglet like Agsamon from getting used to the presence of keepers and therefore be suitably reared for release back to its forest home.
Another important part of the rearing method is seeing an adult eagle so that the chick can acquire the natural behaviors of its species. Salagbanog is the âmentorâ eagle for Agsamon. He is the eagle perched in the other room.
While Agsamon is a juvenile eagle, its sex is still undetermined.
