[Kiwanja]

One decided to nest in my nice, cosy fortress(the main shaft, with skylights.) It managed to get in before I was able to put a grate or glass over the top of this.

So, how does one go about getting this ornery bird trapped?

[Skelodwarf]

Trapped? Why would you want to do that? It would be so much more fun to hold a party at the bottom of the shaft and station a good deal of marksdwarves at the top of the shaft, with loaded crossbows.

The eagle won't know what hit it.

[inaluct]

Just recruit everyone and set them up with wooden crossbows and bolts. Or set everyone to hunt, but close the fortress's exits.

[Jim Groovester]

A cage trap should work to trap it. Setting up the trap is the problem. And getting it into the trap, too.

I did this with a Giant Cave Swallow. After it killed four dwarves.

Giant eagles will chase civilians; you can use this to lure them into a cage trap.  I did it once by accident, although I wasn't lucky enough to get a breeding pair.

[Derakon]

It'll get hit by a cage trap so long as it can't fly over it, so put the trap in a corridor with a ceiling, then lure the eagle in.

[Loki]

Thanks to elven caravans, I currently have a breeding pair of giant eagles and giant desert scorpions... I haven't tried anything with the eagles yet, but the scorpions refused to mate. =/

[Jim Groovester]

That's because giant desert scorpions don't breed.

[Salmeuk]

That's because giant desert scorpions don't breed.

They feed.

new megaproject idea....noahs arc, build huge boat of wood and put 2 of each animal in game on it

[Yanlin]

Fail: It is impossible to build vehicles right now.

[Onlyhestands]

You could build a huge boat, but it just wont be able to move. You would have to make it with a support.

[Micro102]

yeh....or those big wooden planks that held it up like in imagined pictures
