The Harpy Eagle is threatened by logging and hunting throughout its range, making reproduction and hunting increasingly difficult.\n\nCheck out this link ;\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy_eagle

"The phoenix bird symbolizes immortality, resurrection and life after death. In ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology, it is associated with the sun god."

Eagles are listed as Threatened at this point.  They are not in danger of becoming extinct but of course that can change.  See the link for more info on Eagles

It is, but its just not news worthy anymore. Here in the UK the DEFRA are still monitoring birds that have died suddenly, particluarly wild birds such as swans and ducks.

It looks like it:\nhttp://www.uwsp.edu/gEo/faculty/heywood/geog358/extinctm/LEKitFox.htm\n\nThat is a web site about mammal extinction & states that the last one was trapped in California in 1903.  Apparently it was exterminated because it was a pest.

nothing, just mythology is no longer actively practiced. If there's no followers we can say the religion is dead.

It came from East Asia and is now spreading allover Europe. Many waterbirds already died and also poultry on a farm in France. They said humans can´t get it but some people in Turkey died from it.

In ancient Egyptian mythology and in myths derived from it, the phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird.\n\nSaid to live for 500, 1461 or for 12594 years (depending on the source), the phoenix is a male bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At the end of its life-cycle the phoenix builds itself a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix arises. The new phoenix embalms the ashes of the old phoenix in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in Heliopolis ("the city of the sun" in Greek), located in Egypt. The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — a symbol of fire and divinity.\n\nOriginally, the phoenix was identified by the Egyptians as a stork or heron-like bird called a benu, (see Bennu), known from the Book of the Dead and other Egyptian texts as one of the sacred symbols of worship at Heliopolis, closely associated with the rising sun and the Egyptian sun-god Ra.\nOne inspiration that has been suggested for the Egyptian phoenix is a specific bird species of East Africa. This bird nests on salt flats that are too hot for its eggs or chicks to survive; it builds a mound several inches tall and large enough to support its egg, which it lays in that marginally cooler location. The convection currents around these mounds resembles the turbulence of a flame.

Extinction gives an advantage to whatever animals or plants were the food for the now-departed species.  Also, it hurts any that were higher in the food chain.\n\nThe most dramatic changes to evolutionary history occur when there is a catastrophic event of mass-extinction, such as the event which wiped out the dinosaurs.  That event caused so many extinctions that it allowed mammals to replace reptiles as the dominant life forms on Earth.

Not only biologists but everybody must feel concerned about the vanishing species on earth.This is  because nobody lives in isolation.We are all ( The plants,animals and man) related and dependent upon each other.)\n With every extinction an important link in the life on the earth is broken and gone. It has a cascading effect.\n In Australia, with the disappearance of Dodo ( A bird since extinct) the trees that were dependent on Dodo for germination of their seeds also disappeared. It was established that the seeds must pass through the digestive system of the bird before germination as the hard cover used to get digested by the bird.Scores of insects and bees bring about pollination in plants.Disappearance of these bees due to indiscriminate use of the pesticides will undoubtedly affects those plants.\nLife on this planet is like an intricate web, damage to any of its part will destroy the web and even man will not be spared.

There are any number of large, terrestrial hunters that will gladly eat a hawk, falcon or eagle if given the opportunity.  Cougars, wolves, bears, leopards, jaguars, hyaenas, and even reptiles like crocodiles will eat them if they can.\n\nThe raptors avoid these predators through the power of flight.  Because of their size, it is not easy for other predatory birds to eat hawks, eagles and falcons.  They're pretty much the top of the chain.  While an eagle might be bigger than a falcon, the falcon is faster and more maneuverable.  The same factor would come into play if there was a massively huge bird that was of sufficient strength to take down an eagle.  A bird that big would be too slow, and it would be easy for the eagle to out-maneuver it.\n\nIt should be noted that large falcons (gyrfalcons, peregrine) will sometimes eat small falcons (kestrels, merlins).
