    Wedge tailed eagle is bigger. Its length is about 0.85-1.05 m and the bald eagle's length is about 1m.

    It varies, but usually, wedge tailed eagle is bigger.

    It appears the two of them are approximately the same size, with the bald being slightly heavier and their diets and hunting habits very different. Bald eagles prefer fish and don't usually hunt in packs, while the wedge-tail is a carrion eater with more crow or buzzard-like feeding characteristics. Impressive birds, both of them.

    It's very difficult to give a definitive answer to your question. For example, how do you define bigger eagle ? by wingspan, length or weight? Do you compare the largest individuals of each species or do you take the average measurements for each species? How do you define the average size ?
    Bald eagle: length 30-43"(76-109cm); Wingspan
    > 78-96"(2-2.4m)
    wedge tailed eagles size length varies between 0.9 metres (3 ft 3 in) and 1.1 metres (3 ft 7 in), wingspan from 1.8 metres to 2.5 metres
    Approximately the same size .
