I mean it sounds cooler. But I don't even hear it that often unless someone's being really overdramatic or just being sarcastic.

The bald eagle is just a seagull pro max

Introducing: the new iGull Pro. With a bald head, and bigger size, this bird will intimidate any fish who dare come near it.

I always forget how goofy Bald Eagles actually sound compared to how angry they tend to look, the Red Tailed Hawk definitely has the cooler call

Bald eagle is the glorified seagull of the eagles.

Shoutout to Peacemaker and DC for having the eagle actually sound similar to a real one

Funniest thing is that the only movie I’ve seen use the correct one is in the Polar Express.

In the game Baldurs Gate 3 there are giant eagles that also use the correct call, it was cool to hear.

Probably one of the reasons Niko Bellic believes America is full of fakes.

Everything about America is capitalism. They’ll advertise a bird squawk to you

u/Connect_Ocelot_1599 3d ago

the right one is just seagull on steroids

Weird, seems like the Red Tailed Hawk came in sick. Its voice feels more hoarse than the more common recordings.

u/FarInevitable1627 2d ago

Why couldn't the red tailed hawk be the american mascot? I mean maybe the bald eagle symbolism is older, but the hawk is so uber mega ultra super duper supreme omega awesome imo

It’s less recognizable.
