Yep, thats the one.
It was taken on the beach at Sentosa island in Singapore, the owner had it out and would let you feed it, that beak would put a lot of people off but it was really gentle at taking food off you, a lot safer feeding that than the african grey i have.
It would take peices of food smaller than a pea out of your hand or you could throw it towards the bird and it would catch it

Thats the only good one I got, I did get some more but they were at the Jurong bird park and they were all caged up and none came out very good so I deleted them

There was lots of eagles at the bird park but they were all behind mesh making it difficult to get decent pictures
