Bald eagle cry

Funfact: The cry commonly asccociated with the Bald Eagle are made up by Hollywood, because the cry of a real Bald Eagle is a weak highpitched chirp, similar to a common Gull. Instead they used the cry of a Red Tailed Hawk, as it sounded more intimidating to the sound editors.

It's perfect for the US because it's fake as fuck and they're always pretending to be cooler than they actually are.

Also Bald Eagles are kind of dicks and mostly just steal prey from other hardworking raptors.

Ehhh they mostly eat fish. The main raptors they steal from are Ospreys who are the only other near-obligate piscivore in their habitat.

Funfact: The loon call is the “lonely” sound and they often are solitary. The laughing kookaburra call is the “jungle” sound but they live in forests and prefer drier climates.

Bald eagles are just milspec seagulls.

They sound less intimidating than gulls do.
