Brittany Mahomes Reveals Why Eagles Vanished From Family Home
When Real Eagles Visited the Mahomes Family: A Backyard Nature Story with a Football Twist
The Unexpected Guests
Imagine looking out your backyard window and seeing two giant golden eagles hanging out near your house. That’s exactly what happened to Brittany Mahomes (wife of Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes) for several weeks!
Fun Fact: Golden eagles are one of the largest birds of prey in North America, with wingspans up to 7.5 feet!
What Happened?
- A pair of golden eagles showed up near the Mahomes family property
- They kept coming back day after day
- Brittany documented their visits on Instagram Stories
- The birds apparently stayed long enough to raise baby eagles (called eaglets)
- Then one day… they were gone
The Football Connection That Made Everyone Laugh
Here’s where it gets really funny: Patrick Mahomes plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, and their biggest recent rivals are the Philadelphia Eagles!
The Chiefs vs. Eagles Rivalry
- Super Bowl LVII (2023): Chiefs beat Eagles
- Super Bowl LIX (2025): Eagles beat Chiefs
- 2025 Regular Season: Eagles won at Arrowhead Stadium 20-17
So having actual eagles hanging out at the Chiefs quarterback’s house? The jokes practically wrote themselves!
Important Point: Brittany even joked on Instagram: "I’m concerned. Are they trying to take over at this point? I’m a little scared."
This Wasn’t Their First Bird Rodeo
Last year, Brittany had another eagle encounter — a bald eagle sat in a tree near their driveway! She joked: "Think I could teach it how to attack on command?"
But these golden eagles were different — they stayed much longer and apparently raised a family right there in the Mahomes’ neighborhood.
What’s Happening Now?
The Eagles Have Left the Building
Brittany shared the news on Instagram with a sad but sweet message:
"But sadly they are gone… Think they raised their babies and now they’re off, they come back for mating season maybe idk."
She noticed marks in the grass where the birds had been hanging out.
Back to Football Business
While the backyard got quieter, the Mahomes family is focused on football again:
- Patrick Mahomes is coming back from a serious knee injury that ended his 2025 season
- Brittany brought their three kids — Sterling, Bronze, and Golden — to Arrowhead Stadium
- It was for the Chiefs’ preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams
- Chiefs lost 20-12, but the day was really about family and Patrick’s return
- The kids got to see their dad back on the field!
Summary
| What Happened | Why It’s Cool |
|---|---|
| Golden eagles nested near Mahomes home | Rare backyard wildlife experience |
| Birds stayed for weeks, raised babies | Got to watch nature up close |
| Perfect Chiefs/Eagles rivalry joke | Football fans loved the irony |
| Eagles eventually migrated away | Normal bird behavior — they may return! |
| Family now focused on football season | Patrick returning from injury, kids cheering him on |
The bottom line: For a few magical weeks, the Mahomes family had the coolest neighbors in Kansas City — actual golden eagles! Now the birds have moved on (probably to raise their next family), and the Chiefs Kingdom is focused on the upcoming season. As Brittany said, maybe they’ll be back for mating season. Until then… no more Eagles in Chiefs Kingdom!

Maybe! Brittany thinks they might return for mating season. Golden eagles often return to the same nesting areas year after year.
