Hey America how are you doing? America:

Just a little 'Nam flashback. No big deal.

New life goal - Hug a bald eagle

[-] Railing5132@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Rock-a-bye eagle, on the great plains...

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

Whatcha got there?

A walkie-talkie.

[-] Restaldt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Such a dumb name

They should be called hangy-hearers

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 17 points 1 year ago

Gloveless handling and no jacket, clearly Bald Eagles are much more docile than I imagined. They must not have evolved a response to being caught and help upside down.

Bird also could've been sedated while being transported

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 9 points 1 year ago

Mad respect for the Bald Eagle Anesthesiologist.

[-] atocci@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

It sure looks sedated at least

[-] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 year ago

Happy to see they’re saving it! The bare-handed handling makes me nervous though…

I was worried about those massive talons and that strong beak, but yeah maybe

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

That eagle looks so confused

He really does look like that lol

Denver International Airport you say...? I think this eagle was onto something before they had to remove it. He got too close to the truth.

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Eagle: yo. This is some serious bullshit.

[-] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 7 points 1 year ago

The eagle does not look entirely satisfied with its transportation arrangements...

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

That beak can crack bones...

[-] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That looks like an ill-eagle. Set him free in a sanctuary.

What a cute family photo

[-] Liz@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

How about next time we relocate the airport!

[-] spongebue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

They already did that about 30 years ago...

[-] Liz@midwest.social -2 points 1 year ago

I was thinking of putting it in a landfill.
