This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
My experience has been that a smaller bird will attack the bird of prey relentlessly till they're on their way.
I was watching some crows chase around an eagle the other day. The pathetic squee noises it made like it’s saying “I toldja I was sorry I ate your babies” has me wondering why we have all fallen for this whole eagles are a symbol of power gobbledegook.
Mostly less efficient vultures, but way more magnificent, so they've got that going for them. (In Australia, so the Wedge Tail eagle is the niche filler and very much a scavenger, always a pleasure to see tho)
Bald eagles are amazing fishers. They will take any opportunities for free meals, but they are also exceptional hunters.
