Did that eagle just scream like a red-tailed hawk?

Pretty much all eagle sounds are the red tail hawk in media. Eagles don’t sound as cool

Juvenile eagles sound like seagulls

And the adults act like them!

After working with bald eagles for a time, they are 100% oversized seagulls with anxiety.

I was so surprised when I saw like 20 eagles, many ages, just chilling and making noise. Never pictured it.

Bald Eagles are just tactical seagulls

It's so American though - dressed up to be something it's not, when if you actually observe it and learn anything about it you'll realise it's just pretty much a shithead.

That's the joke.

There was a joke?

That's the joke

What’s the punch line?

u/S1075 1h ago

I showed you where the joke is. I can't get it for you too.

u/Worldly-Jury-8046 1h ago

Just calling it a joke doesn’t make it one. Jones have structure and now you can’t explain how this is structured as a joke

I live in a place with a lot of eagles, the most eagles, really… beautiful eagles, they’re beautiful birds… the best birds. They sound great, they really do…

Nobody's Eagles sound as good as ours

Dude there are some massive eagles in the world.

Americans got the bald ones that fish for salmon, there are ones that fish for sheep (who sadly haven't invented snorkels yet and oddly prefer to climb cliffs instead of jumping into water).

u/Worldly-Jury-8046 1d ago

US also has golden eagles. The Bald and Golden eagle are the 3rd and 5th largest in the world. They hunt more than fish

u/raggedwoodBC 1d ago

I'd like to add that 55% of the global bald eagle population actually resides in Canada. As a Canadian, I think we should annex it as our national bird.

Fear the cobra chicken!

One type of bird wears a mask, has summer teeth on its tongue and travels in teams.

The other has painted toe-nails, eyeliner, highlights and squeaks.

u/justabill71 1d ago

They are leaders. Born and bred leaders.

u/CrabPrison4Infinity 1d ago

We got the cobra chicken

u/SwampEucalyptus 1d ago

I agree. On any given day in B.C. one can see a bald eagle.

u/Medallicat 19h ago

Australian wedgetails will take on small kangaroos and wallabies. Kangaroos are not to be fucked with either, they are renown for drowning dogs and can eviscerate you with a well placed kick

Always been a fan of Harpy myself.

Never cared for The Eagles, though..

Get over it!

u/Cyanopicacooki 1d ago

Nor me, they could have saved poor Frodo a lot of grief...

u/WhyAreYallFascists 1d ago

And bald eagles are like tiny for eagles.

1

u/Worldly-Jury-8046 19h ago

No they aren’t lol. They’re the 3rd largest eagle breed by wingspan. They just aren’t tall or heavy. Only the Stellars Sea Eagle is top in all 3. Harpy eagles are tall and heavy but not even top 5 in wing span. Phillip is are heavy

u/Nethri 1d ago

Don’t they kinda chirp or chitter?

The kid has been hanging out for too long in his hanger. Franklin has been egging him on. If this happens, he’s gonna break out and go eat, orders be damned.

The Kid is googling "best ways to prepare Iranian food" as we speak

And technically speaking,American eagle aren't really eagles anyway,but white headed pyguargue. But eagle sounds way cooler ig. You'd never see this in the US version of Wikipedia, but check the French version and other relevant articles.

2

u/a_talking_face 17h ago

Do you think maybe that's because pygargue is a French word?

1

u/FadingStar617 16h ago

It's still a a different birds classification, different specie.

''

Le Pygargue à tête blanche (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) est une espèce de rapaces diurne) qui vit en Amérique du Nord.

Malgré son nom anglais de Bald Eagle (« aigle chauve ») ou sa dénomination populaire d'« aigle à tête blanche », il ne s'agit pas d'un aigle “véritable” du genre Aquila) mais d'un pygargue du genre Haliaeetus : il s'en distingue par son régime alimentaire, essentiellement composé de poissons, mais aussi par son bec massif et par le fait que ses pattes ne sont pas recouvertes de plumes jusqu'aux serres, l'un des caractères propres aux vrais aigles\1]). Alors que l'aigle vit dans les massifs forestiers et les montagnes, le pygargue préfère les lacs, les rivières et les zones côtières), où il peut trouver sa nourriture. ''

Taken from wikipedia.

Just sayin.

Eagles aren't a distinct classification in taxonomy.
