Identify the species
Aquila chrysaetos is a bird of prey found across much of the Northern Hemisphere. Golden neck feathers contrast with dark brown plumage. Frontier describes open landscapes and nesting sites on cliffs or tall trees.
This is natural-history context from Frontier’s biography, not a table of game simulation values.
Edition and official listing
This is one of the six additional Deluxe animals. It is separate from the scenery-only preorder bonus.
Official enclosure labels: Aviary. These labels describe categories, not a compatibility verdict.

Planning notes for this animal
An eagle-focused aviary offers a different concept from a tropical mixed-bird display. Sketch sightlines to high resting and nesting features, then check which features the game actually requires. The official aviary classification is confirmed; an exact flight-space or roof-height value is not.
These are our design suggestions, not verified welfare requirements.
Habitat requirements and compatibility
Natural pairs and defended territories are useful context, not a verified game group formula. Do not assume all aviary birds can share an enclosure just because the building category matches.
We have not verified space, temperature, group limits or compatible species for Golden Eagle in a released game build. The calculator and compatibility checker remain demos; missing values are not zero and missing pairing evidence is not approval.
Use the building guide for the currently sourced overview. Once actual gameplay values are checked, requirements will be published at this same URL.
