Human disturbance at nests: Golden eagles are often disturbed by humans at their nests, which can lead to abandonment of the nest and loss of eggs or young. 2. Predation by other birds: There have been instances where common ravens have eaten golden eagle eggs, but this is rare and usually occurs when the parent eagles abandon their nesting attempt. 3. Self-defense killings: Golden eagles may be killed by their prey in self-defense, such as porcupines or deer that defend themselves against an attack. 4. Disease: Avian cholera and Trichomonas sp. have been known to cause death in golden eagles, particularly among fledglings. 5. Human activities: Golden eagles are often killed by humans through various means, including wind turbines, poaching, and hunting. The text also discusses the cultural significance of golden eagles and their conservation status. It notes that while they have a wide range and are not considered threatened globally, some populations are declining due to human activities such as wind turbine development and habitat loss.
