The black eagle breeds in tropical Asia. Race perniger (Hodgson, 1836(S)) is found in the Himalayan foothills west through Nepal into the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir, and in the forests of the Eastern and Western Ghats in peninsular India and Sri Lanka. The species also extends into the Aravalli range of northwestern India. The nominate race malaiensis (Temminck, 1822(E)) is found in Burma, southern China (Yunnan, Fujian) and Taiwan, into the Malay Peninsula. The Ictinaetus malaiensis perniger subspecies of the Indian Subcontinent is the most widespread. They are generally residents and no migrations have been observed. In a study in southern India, it was found to favour forests with good forest cover and was absent from areas where the cover was less than 50%.
Trim both my edges and be left with two
You now have two numbers, well done, thank you
With an addition you can now go forth
Make change to the South and not to the North
Loose one on the right, have a good time?
One extra number, you also have nine
With all of these numbers, be ready to feast
Add not to West, but do it to East
