Looks like Bonelli's Eagle to me (large size, feathered tarsi, tail pattern). Were you able to determine the cause of death?

No sign of any damage or shot or anything else. All the feathers were in its natural shape except two of main feathers. There were some blood in the mouth. The body was almost fresh and it seems the death was last night or today. I found it almost in the sunset.

I brought it home.
How can I keep it for taxidermy?
There is no specialist around here and I have to keep it in order to sent it to another city. So please guide me to keep it safe for some time.
Thanks
Here is some more photos:

Hello, if you find it near agriculture site ( like fields , cultivated areas) , poisining it is most likely the case which is familiar in the region, second cause i suspect electricution if you havve a major electricity pylons near by.


till you have a taxidermist , make sure your eagle does not have a bad oder which indicate decomposition, when ok, put it plastic pag and keep in freg.

Agree with Omar. When in the deep freezer keep in plastic bag, if you need to ship it then remove plastic and wrap in paper.
