Animal Education 22 - Bald Eagles
Alright first night at college...I am excited and terrified. However, I took some picks ahead of time so I can still make my Facebook posts.
This is the Bald Eagle, America's National Bird. It was going to be the Turkey but that was one of Benjman Franklin's bad ideas. The Bald Eagle lives in North America, eats primarily fish and waterfowl, and is called bald due to its white head. Juveniles don't possess this feature though and are just brown. Adults will pair for life and make huge nest which they will use and expand until it falls down, and then they will make a new one. These eagles specifically up to 13ft. deep and 8.2ft. wide nests as the birds are themselves up to 12lbs. for females. Males only get to 8lbs.
So, what's the theme this week and how does the Bald Eagle fit in. Well, this week theme is misconceptions about animals to follow up with last week's dinosaur misconceptions. So how does the Bald Eagle fit in. Well, you know how in movies you hear a screech when a Bald Eagle appears. So here the thing, Bald Eagles actually chirp. Look it up, seriously, Bald Eagle calls sound like songbirds. So, what do actually make those screeches. Red Tailed Hawks. Yeah, Hollywood used the Read Tailed Hawk calls because they wanted the Bald Eagle to be intimidating. From this to Jurassic Park to Jaws. They might be good movies, but they aren't accurate. I will do a post on the Red Tail Hawk in the future. Maybe next week if I can think of a good theme. That one will use a stuffed animal and not a Safari Model. This one is a Safari model, and so will be at least half of this week. Sorry for people tired of Safari, they make good models.
