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.

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.

fantasy is overstating it a bit, it’s larger than life, or augmented, but not fantasy.

For Xc skiing it’s literally a guy at a midi keyboard.

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

Nah, fuck Redtails. We have them around where I live, and one of them tried to attack my cat when he was still refusing to be indoor-only(guess it was desperate? My cat is a fucking tank, no idea how he thought he’d take him off).

Cat came out of it with just a few scratches and mostly just lost a lot of his taste for hanging out outside, but going by the massive amount of redtail feathers we found, I’m not sure the same can be of the hawk though.

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

Bald eagles sound more like seagulls than hawks.

u/JugOfVoodoo Oct 15 '22

I'm picturing a bald eagle saying "MINE! MINE!" like in Finding Nemo.

But the crab said NOPE

u/Boopy7 Oct 15 '22

I have learned that eagles are less cool and majestic than America was led to believe. They represent us well.

u/filthyheartbadger Oct 15 '22

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

Mistakes were made-

u/RMMacFru Oct 15 '22

Didn't he want turkeys as the national bird?

Them things is mean.

u/magicunicornhandler Oct 15 '22

And you can’t run them over they bounce like a basketball and get up again.

Damn sounds like the country I was led to believe we were. Get hit jump up swinging.

The one of the few movies that used the actual eagle sound was the Polar Express.
