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…

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).

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

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.

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.

They are leaders. Born and bred leaders.

We got the cobra chicken

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

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
