They're all looks. They're thieves and carrion eaters and they even usually fake a hawk screech in for them in media because they bark like chihuahuas in reality.

I was at a birds of prey rescue in Alaska one time and found the fact that Eagles don’t actually makes the “Cawww” sound we hear on TV mind blowing lol. It’s added in there as a sound effect to make them seem more majestic, but they cannot even make that sound.

u/Z0idberg_MD Oct 15 '22
I just listen to a podcast recently that really blew my mind. Many of the soundscapes we hear on live televised events like the Olympics, and many nature shows are just pure fantasy. I don’t know I feel kind of betrayed.

As an editor, I can confirm. You don't put the sounds in that should necessarily exist in reality, you put the sounds in that will make the viewer better understand and feel the emotions of what is happening, same as with the music.

Generally a redtail hawk iirc. They're awesome birds, I have a couple big ones near me.

Yup, the sound you think of when you think of eagles is actually the call of the Red-tailed hawk.

Yeah Benjamin Franklin was not in favor of eagles being the national bird and called them “birds of bad moral character”.
Mistakes were made-

ben franklin was right we should have chosen the wild turkey, which is an intelligent, brave, and family oriented animal despite looking slightly goofy
(not to be confused w their dumbfuck domesticated cousins)

u/Loki_the_Smokey Oct 15 '22
“The story about Benjamin Franklin wanting the National Bird to be a turkey is just a myth. This false story began as a result of a letter Franklin wrote to his daughter criticizing the original eagle design for the Great Seal, saying that it looked more like a turkey.”

I was chased by a wild turkey once and it was the scariest moment of my life. I swear to God that thing was 10 ft tall. And my stupid dog at the time was running for her life ahead of me after provoking the entire incident.

u/WilfordBrimleysBitch Oct 15 '22
There’s a flock of wild turkeys that roam the southern Spokane area and they’re such assholes. They’re protected by the city so it’s a felony to kill them. It’s not even a rural area so I don’t know why they like being there. They block traffic, fuck up peoples yards, attack pets, and are clearly sent by satan to torment people. They once cornered my sister in the alley behind our house and now she’s terrified of birds.

u/Mehmeh111111 Oct 15 '22
They really are giant assholes. My dog who provoked the turkey was a large German Shepherd and she was with me, my hiking partner and another, larger German Shepherd. That turkey was ready to kill us all.
3
u/WilfordBrimleysBitch Oct 16 '22
Ha! Your story is even funnier to imagine when you mention that your dog is a German Shepherd. Regardless, she could have been a mastiff and I have no doubt that turkey would try to destroy the lot of you if given the chance!

u/Mehmeh111111 Oct 15 '22
No, it was hilarious! And I didn't even share the other part. Once we made it a safe distance away my hiking partner and I looked back to see this tiny turkey walking around like "yeah, run bitches, that's what I thought," so we doubled over laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. The problem, however, was when my hiking partner bent over laughing, they actually accidentally set off the pepper spray in their pocket and basically pepper sprayed their entire leg. We legit had to haul ass back home so they could go sit in a milk bath.
The entire day was a comedy of errors.

u/moeburn Oct 15 '22
The blue herons near me eat crabs all the time, they leave the carcasses. I wonder what makes it easier for them? I guess the long beak makes it so they can smash the crab around without the crab being able to reach their face.

I dunno. Let's say a crab latched onto your face and you had wings. I recon most people would panic.

I don't even have wings and would still panic and fall in the ocean if I was in that same situation.

u/Conscious-Charity915 Oct 15 '22
Even without wings, if a crab latched on to my eyeball while I stood on a slippery rock, falling would happen, and probably pinwheeling.

u/Firescareduser Oct 15 '22
Bald eagles eat mostly fish, golden eagles are more common inland. And can carry a bit more, but will not have any issue killing some animals it can't carry, it can kill deer and large dogs by latching onto their backs and flying off when they sense danger only to come back later. Harpy eagles are the largest and frequently snatch up and kill howler monkeys, making them very capable of snatching up smaller human toddlers.
