Man you can't have an eagle as a pet unless you are trained in animal rehabilitation or have a degree in ornithology. It's illegal to own or possess any bird of pray or anything that belongs to them like a feather.

read this infor..and then it is your choise;
Eagles are large birds of prey which inhabit mainly the Old World, with only two species (the Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle) found in North America north of Mexico, a few in Middle and South America, two (the White-bellied Sea Eagle and Wedge-tailed Eagle) in Australia, and the Philippine Eagle in the Philippines. They are members of the bird order Falconiformes (or Accipitriformes, according to alternative classification schemes), family Accipitridae, and belong to several genera which are not necessarily closely related to each other in any sort of way.
Eagles are differentiated from other broad-winged birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and bill. Even the smallest eagles, like the Booted Eagle (which is comparable in size to a Common Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from the vultures.
Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong legs, and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight to enable them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by their extremely large pupils which cause minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light.
In Britain before 1678, Eagle referred specifically to the Golden Eagle, the other native species, the White-tailed Eagle, being known as the Erne. The modern name "Golden Eagle" for Aquila chrysaetos was introduced by the naturalist John Ray.
Eagles build their nests, which are sometimes called eyries (mostly in Australia) in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched.
Eagles are sometimes used in falconry. They appear prominently in myth and literature. In the Old World, such references are commonly to the Golden Eagle (or possibly closely related species found in warmer climates).

If you are feeding this bird then there are going to be more chances of you having it as a pet if you like it or not so say goodbye to fluffy or your dog. Once you start to feed a Eagle they will become a pest and then the Game Reserve will be on you for feeding this ENDANGERED ANIMAL and soon to be listed as Threatened. Fines and jail time will then fallow.

I would hawk it at a pawn shop and get another pet. Eagles are awfully tough on curtains and drapes and any small pets you might have.

Only if the eagle agrees to it. Do not keep it confined and if he wants to be there, then it's ok.
