The Eagle is no hero or noble creature but it is a good symbol for the USA i.e. a big,nasty,cheap shot,bully who preys only on the weak and defensless!
I never understood why peole ae so in awe of the Eagle? What is it but a big,lumbering predator who only attacks smaller and more defenseless animals! The Eagle sneeks up on its prey and attacks when that prey is not aware or looking so Eagles are not courageous or noble.The common crow or seagull is much more skillfull and can fly circles around eagles.You'll notice anytime an Eagle flys over all the other birds get together and chase it away to protect their young from this cheap shot carnavore.So Eagles can fly high well - so can seagulls and Canada geese.The Eagle is no hero or noble creature but it is a good symbol for the USA i.e. a big,nasty,cheap shot,bully who preys only on the weak and defensless!
