Just a little 'Nam flashback. No big deal.

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

Whatcha got there?

A walkie-talkie.

Such a dumb name

They should be called hangy-hearers

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

Mad respect for the Bald Eagle Anesthesiologist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

It sure looks sedated at least

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Eagle: yo. This is some serious bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

That beak can crack bones...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Poor dude.

What a cute family photo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How about next time we relocate the airport!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They already did that about 30 years ago...

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago

I was thinking of putting it in a landfill.
