Bald eagles look awesome. It’s why they’re a good national symbol; they seem so fearsome and regal. But it turns out a lot of what you know about these majestic creatures is completely wrong.

I live where Bald Eagles are plentiful, literally in the thousands (Pacific Coast). It is hilarious to see them being chased by irate Seagulls.

Thats true Red Tailed hawks have piercing screeches. I know I hear them all the time. They scream to awaken one soul

If Franklin saw his country today, he’d probably see that the Bald Eagle is very fitting as a national symbol.

What a moronic statement. If we were to use any animal instead name me one that cannot be criticized one way or another. How about instead of doing the leftist thing and focusing on negative aspects of everything American, you can realize that no nation ever in the history of the universe cannot be torn down, belittled and denigrated in as many ways as the leftards do and that every nation that has people will have flaws and try to take in the positive and the negative ? Unless you are perfect that is. Your statement is either misguided about the eagle or about the US, the greatest nation that has ever existed. Unless you can find another that is overall better.

“A bird of bad character” because it steals other birds’ food, like Americans didn’t steal this land from Native Americans and call it their own…

We didn’t steal the land from them. We fought for it and won. It has been happening throughout time. Countries fighting other countries and taking land. Get over it and stop with the mis-information.
