Me : why American pick bald eagle as National Animal? 😐 They just know how to strike from back like coward and run after that- .... Wait a second 🤨 .. Now i got it 😅😂.. Because that's what America did to others country. 🔥🔥🔥😏

Beautiful bird. No wonder it was chosen as the national symbol. Far more pleasing than the california condor 😂

I see no piebald-faced lies.

[@pineappleginseng1557]

Absolutely beautiful birds! Unfortunately, I can't remember ever seeing one in the wild, but I do remember a few years ago, we found a golden eagle in our front lawn, where it was enjoying a squirrel as a meal. My girlfriend and her mother were pretty mortified by the sight, but her brother, her father, and I were absolutely in awe of how beautiful (and brutal) it was to see something like this! I suppose it was a little gruesome, but man oh man... Sure, we felt bad for the poor squirrel, but as unfortunate as it is, it must do what it must do to survive. It certainly was a sight, on the front lawn, of all places, too!

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Wow what an amazing experience! I can imagine it would be gruesome to see but still fascinating, too.

Piebald Eagle

[@blessedandkept6817]

I love it

[@penny_the_wiser413]

I have Bald Eagles near where I live. They live along the river. Sometimes I go watch them.

[@theskoomacat3106]

Cool birds but only if the were bigger.

[@UltraMagaFan]

These birds really are bullies. I love watching them fight ospreys for fish. One time I saw them lock up and spiral towards the ground. It was pretty cool.
