Remember last year when I was upset about that bald eagle and another eagle attacking my goose? Anyways, I wasn't sure if the second eagle was a golden eagle or an extremely large adolescent bald eagle but it looked just like your photo so I guess it was a golden eagle. Thanks for posting the photo :)
It reminds me of the Albanian eagle that is on their flag (Although that one had two heads!)
You're welcome, by the way :encouragement:(so how's your goose?) Still alive?

Well... I called it MY goose but it was actually a wild goose that hung around our pond for a couple weeks. I had become motherly protective of it so it was mine! lol. I was ready to go to jail for shooting an eagle to protect it :) I hope it found the rest of its herd it had become seperated from and is alive and well :)

The coat of arms on Mexico's flag features a golden eagle. The coat of arms is derived from an Aztec legend that their gods told them to build a city where they spot an eagle on a nopal eating a serpent, which is now Mexico City.

I'm excited... I'm getting a new bird in two weeks. I'm tired of breeding , so I am giving my breeder blue & gold macaws away and getting a scarlet macaw baby. (breeders aren't pets.. mine are meaner than hell.. lol.. and I want another bird as a pet) They are beautiful birds.
This is not a picture of him , it is a stock photo from google.. but it is what they look like. My baby doesn't even have his feathers in yet.. lol

Poor El Birdo. One of the cats knocked our roasting pan off the table and made a huge racket in the middle of the night. I've heard that Cockateils can have night panics, but I've never seen one before.
After I picked up the pan, I heard a ruckus coming from the studio. It was so loud I thought somebody was breaking in. So, with my handy-dandy peacemaker loaded and cocked, I went in there. It was just the bird.
No. I didn't shoot her.
Poor thing was flapping around in the cage in full panic mode. I turned on the light and she froze. Have you ever seen a cat with its hair standing up on end? That's what the bird looked like. Every single feather was up on end, including her comb and tail feathers. If it weren't so frightening to see her in such a panic, it would have been funny. She wouldn't even move when I got up next to the cage and started bird-talking her. You know, making those clicking sounds with my tongue and smoochy-smoochy noises.
I finally reached in and got her on my finger. Nothing. Still frozen. I held her close to me, making sounds she knows and talking calmly to her, lovingly. Nothing. It wasn't until the dopey thing fell off my hand and thunked to the floor that she snapped out of it. Then, she reverted to "Oh. I'm out of my cage so I have to walk over to my person to get picked up and put back in" mode. She was a little shaky, but normal. I've never seen anything like it. I visited with her for a while before putting her back to bed.
Is El Birdo the one caught in the fire? I am so sorry. And the poor kitties too. I hope things are getting taken care of.

Yes. El Birdo, my cockateil, perished in the fire.
Thanks. All of the paperwork is moving right along, but with all of the flood damage, we're on a very long waiting list for any contractors to even come look at the place. We've done all we can until somebody's willing and able to come out and do some work.

I am so sorry for your loss (((lepplady & El Birdo))) One of my biggest fears is a house fire while Mouse is home but we're at the store or somewhere and can't rescue her.
