you should add that the tredemark American eagle movie sound Americans know and love it actually a hawk not an eagle

I don't think we knew that the California Condor existed when they made that decision

I mean it doesn't look like he had any ill will towards the condors. It seems like he got into a bad situation, attempted to cover his ass unsuccessfully, and got fined.

The condors were discovered in the late 1800s by both explorers/outdoorsmen and loggers coming up from San Francisco, San Diego, and El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula, as well as loggers and explorers/outdoorsmen coming south from the ports of Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA/CA.

I was joking, he was methed out. :)

Ahhh, I see.

Bit of a shame, that. My smoke shop sells psilocybin gummies, chocolate, and candies. I think he might have done better micro dosing psilocybin, but I don't have much room to talk. I've only macrodosed on psilocybin, LSD, and 2CT-7. Apparently micro dosing can help with depression and anxiety. All I know as a person with ADD is that macrodosing hallucinogens help me to re-focus into what I need to be paying attention to when I'm lost, every decade or so.

These are cool eagle facts. Keep up the good work.

And? What's the conclusion?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't paraglide near Australian Wedge Tail Eagles?

But you haven't done anything!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Didn’t they???

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Wedge-tailed Eagles are fucking cool, even if we get their name wrong on silly graphics since the rest of it isn't entirely accurate either.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Okay, but it's kinda unfair to compare literally anything to the country where every living thing will kill you if you look at it funny!

Tbh the American dropbears aren’t much to write home about either

Their platypi are a unique shade of teal, which is pretty cool.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The plural of platypus is platypuses if you’re being normal, and platypodes if you’re showing off at a dinner party no one wanted to attend.

it’s actually Greek (platys = flat, pous = foot)

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 4 days ago

They used to circle above my primary school. I wonder if they ever managed to snag one

That's the saddest looking bald eagle. Aww, buddy.
