The Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila Audax), in short called Wedgie, is Australia’s largest bird of prey and one of the largest eagles in the world. It has long, fairly broad wings, fully feathered legs, and an wedge-shaped tail. It measures 0.85-1.05 metres in length and has a wingspan of up to 2.3 metres.
The Wedge-tailed Eagle is found throughout Australia. Wedge-tailed Eagles eat both live prey (like rabbits, lizards and the occasional lamb) and carrion. You often see them in groups feeding on roadkill.
