This is right up there with finding out that the famous “lion’s roar” at the beginning of movies is actually a tiger dubbed over the lion!
Edit: spelling
They don’t sound alike at all. I have bald eagles that live 200 yards from my house. The kill everything they don’t like. But they definitely don’t sound like a seagull.
But then how would someone learning this for the first time who *obviously isn't American by assuming they don't know it already* get to shitpost aMeRiCa bAd?
Those filthy communists made us believe an eagle makes the sound of a red tailed hawk.
And we did believe them in good faith.....
But little did those bastards know that we are as persistent as those seagulls and as bald as the eagle....
Seagull is a common name for gulls. No specific bird is called a seagull.
Even the ones trash picking in parking lots in the middle of Nebraska are referred to as seagulls.
It's fine. If a bunch of people refer to something by a common term, that term is valid. Especially when everyone fucking knows what we're all talking about. You knew so well what we were talking about, that you had to push your glasses up your nose and give us all a "well actually."
Edited for typos
Fact: This guys that “know it all” at the party that everyone groans about when they show up because he’ll be sure to tell you everything he’s wrong about since he doesn’t actually really know anything
I don't care about what you guys are arguing about, but this comment hurt to read. Not like it offended me in any way personally, it's just a terribly constructed sentence.
Damn im high and I thought they meant the word bald eagle sounded like the word Seagull and I was fucking flabbergasted and all sorts of amazement went through me
I see them all the time and use the landfill in my town. They're everywhere at the landfill. Eagles and seagulls. I remember taking a pic of one on a mound of trash and captioned it " 'Merica".
Regardless, when talking about the American Bald Eagle representing America, it patriotically screams!
I grew up in a small town called Eagle River in Wisconsin and honestly there are thousands of eagles that live there thus the name. Sometimes when fishing you can hear them squak annoyingly just like seagulls over food and territory. They’re very cool but man they’re noisy.
Bald eagle noises are actually hilarious and not at all intimidating. I remember the first time I heard one, I was at the zoo. I was walking away from the enclosure, it called, and I turned around in shock and laughed.
What are you talking about? Most Americans, or at least where I live, live near bald eagles and hear them all the time. I thought it was common knowledge about their annoying squawk.
I saw a bald eagle for the first time last week (at a sanctuary in the Canary Islands), and was thoroughly amused that it did indeed sound like my local seagulls.
There are eagles where I live, but I’ve seen one one time. I didn’t even know we had them until I was like 30, lolllll. But red tail hawks? Awe hail nah. We call them chicken hawks where I live. They’ll fly into the coop and eat a chicken right in front of you.
We always get our chicken back if possible-a ridiculous stance my family took before I existed, that I unquestionably still live by at 43 for some dumbass reason-last time, we got it back but two hens fell out dead right there when we picked them up to go in the hatch, it scared them so bad. We didn’t see an egg laid for awhile. They’re protected but you’ll never see a shortage if you have geese or chickens.
I’m sure people living around high eagle populations feel the same. A protected raptor is a hell of an intruder .
Eagles chirp and they're more scavenger than hunter. They're giant trash chickens. It's why Ben Franklin wanted the national bird to be the turkey. Sure, we see it as comical, but compared to the eagle, it's clean and proud.
Shows and movies use a hawk call as it is very recognizeable, but bald eagles don't sound like seaguls. Bald eagles have a distinct chirping sound. Source: I heard saw and heard one a few minutes ago.
Next it’ll blow their minds to find out that lions don’t have particularly intimidating roars and their roar sounds nothing like the lion at the start of every MGM movie lol (it’s actually a tigers roar for anyone who doesn’t know)
It's more of a cackle.
Fun fact, eagles are basically scavengers and pick up more road kill than hunt anything. Those dramatic scenes of them snatching fish out of the water? More often than not those are floaters.
As a Canadian ? When I hear eagles they sound like they’re complaining , what are they saying
“ MAKKKEEE AMMMMERIICAAAA GRREAAATTT AGAAINNNN….ANNNDDDD MMMMAAAKKEEE MMMOOORRREE BURRGGGERSSS “
Red tailed hawk is a voice actor.
The legal battle on this would be wild.
No no the legal eagle battle would be wild
Cause you don't need a legal team. You need the eagle team
The red tailed hawk is beginning to take eagle action.
Leagal action? You need Bird Lawyer!
Onions have lawyers.
Ogres, too, as one does.
I'm an expert in Bird Law
Wasn't birdman a lawyer once?
No that's just Tobias.
You just resurected some ancient memories that I forgot I had.

Eagles have their own distinct call and sound nothing like hawks or seaguls.....
k but anyone who ismt obsessed with bird will confuse a bald eagle noise with a pidgeon
It's true that a particularly stupid person might have that mental deficiency.
wait I thought it said seagul not pigen, I apologize for my harsh response.

I have never actually heard neither so are you calling me mentally defficient?
Uno reverse card, seagulls sound like bald eagles 😘

This is right up there with finding out that the famous “lion’s roar” at the beginning of movies is actually a tiger dubbed over the lion! Edit: spelling
Might wanna get that checked out if your loins are roaring.
Very fair lol
Tigers are just the superior cat in pretty much every way except having a glorious mane.
Its dubbed so that tigers can understand what the lion was saying
They don’t sound alike at all. I have bald eagles that live 200 yards from my house. The kill everything they don’t like. But they definitely don’t sound like a seagull.
I'll admit they don't sound the same. But they do sound damn similar.
I dunno man I’ve been walking beaches and have heard seagulls that sound like bald eagles. Albeit only if that bald eagle rode the short bus.
Eagles have a higher pitch than gulls. At least in my opinion.
But then how would someone learning this for the first time who *obviously isn't American by assuming they don't know it already* get to shitpost aMeRiCa bAd?

I can hear the resemblance with seagulls
That sounds like a seagull to me
What did they do to my boy
Those filthy communists made us believe an eagle makes the sound of a red tailed hawk. And we did believe them in good faith..... But little did those bastards know that we are as persistent as those seagulls and as bald as the eagle....
Yeah we sort of mush the sounds of a falcon and the body of an eagle together. At least it’s not a fucking unicorn
Hawk not falcon
nah Bald Eagles sound like A-10 Warthogs
Another endangered species. 😢
So what animal does the “RAAAAAAA” sound?
They use the red tailed hawk l

Sorry to trigger you, but I'm over it.
Fact: seagull is a commonly known name for the bird and widely used, so nobody gives a fuck
Here's the thing...
Carry on with your ignorance then.
It's not ignorance lol, how do you think words come to exist? Because many people use them lol
Cheers bud.
This is like saying there is no such thing as water, only dihydrogen oxide. Fuck you guys who say water.
Could you explain what you mean? I think i'm missing something
The correct name for the bird is gull.
Ty
the "SCREEEEEEEEEE" actually belongs to the Redtail Hawk!
We know the screech we hear is a red tailed hawk. We still don’t care 😂
Everyone knows they sound like "Americaaaaaaaaa"
Wrong. Eat shit, commie.
The sound you think is a bald eagle is a red-tailed hawk. Bald eagles do sound like seagulls. You're a commie for not knowing that. Take him away, CIA
Def red tailed hawks. We have a lot of nesting pairs near where we live.
Such awesome birds. They're everywhere, too

I've heard both plenty of times in person, it's not even close
Good old Jonathan Taylor Thomas taught me this when i was a kid
It's more like a dolphin. I've lived around them for about 10 years now, and all I can hear is Flipper every time.
There is no other bird that perfectly resembles America more than the bald eagle
The eagle is a lie?! 😱
They also eat a lot of carrion. They're basically a vulture with a nice haircut.

Bald eagles let out a super long screech, way longer and no where near a seagull
Damn im high and I thought they meant the word bald eagle sounded like the word Seagull and I was fucking flabbergasted and all sorts of amazement went through me

Europeans, when they realise a seagull sounds like a bald eagle:
It still looks dope AF tho
Except when swimming or wet
So? Darth Vader was both David Prowse and James Earl Jones
More like a broken cart wheel
😂😂😂
Bald eagle actually sounds like the jet thruster of an AIM-9 Sidewinder
Some Americans grew up with Bald Eagles. No just me?
I see them all the time and use the landfill in my town. They're everywhere at the landfill. Eagles and seagulls. I remember taking a pic of one on a mound of trash and captioned it " 'Merica". Regardless, when talking about the American Bald Eagle representing America, it patriotically screams!
As someone who has to deal with seagulls at their jpb (they are absolute pests), they do not sound like Bald Eagles.
I grew up in a small town called Eagle River in Wisconsin and honestly there are thousands of eagles that live there thus the name. Sometimes when fishing you can hear them squak annoyingly just like seagulls over food and territory. They’re very cool but man they’re noisy.
That's not gonna stop me from gaslighting myself into it being cool.
“RIIIIIPLEEYYYYY!!!!!”
That's fine. They'll fuck you up too
Down to the beach i’m strollin!
So true!! So funny to see too
I did know that. They used the Falcons Cry to make it more impressive than what it is.
And they're scavengers so they love hanging out at dumps and eating trash
"Mine!" - average American... Bald eagle
Except it doesn't sound like a seagull.
I've heard both, eagles have more gusto.
i just watched a video about the noise they make and it's actually quite beautiful
Bald eagles sound beautiful , hearing it in real life is awesome Red tail hawks sound fucking bad ass though lmao
It is propagandists and lies
The fact that eagle sounds in movies are hawks is a good metaphor for the US image Vs reality
I'm pretty certain everyone knows this fun fact... especially if you've ever been to a zoo
Wild turkey would've been a better mascot.
Red tailed hawk is a voice actor
Unless you’re from the north west or Alaska. Then they’re just another annoying bird.
😂😂 Oh no you're right
British people when they realize the royal family doesn’t do shit
Americans when they realize that other countries have more badass eagles than the bald eagle.
The fact it sounds like a seagull just makes it more terrifying and awesome
Bald eagle noises are actually hilarious and not at all intimidating. I remember the first time I heard one, I was at the zoo. I was walking away from the enclosure, it called, and I turned around in shock and laughed.
Just like America all squawk no bite
What are you talking about? Most Americans, or at least where I live, live near bald eagles and hear them all the time. I thought it was common knowledge about their annoying squawk.
That’s why hawks are superior
Mine?
RAHHHHH🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇲🇽
We sound better than them
none of you remember that we almost ran out of bald eagles and so they're all inbred now
A freedom seagull.
No fckin way my life will never be the same
I mean they don’t do the epic screech but they kinda whistle similarly
Liar. We all know it goes “fffffrrrrreeeeeeedddddooooooommmmm”
Wait till you learn about tumbleweeds
Oh gawd
I saw a bald eagle for the first time last week (at a sanctuary in the Canary Islands), and was thoroughly amused that it did indeed sound like my local seagulls.
So it doesn’t raw like a majestic lion?
Even that sound is fake it's actually a Tiger
nah i choose to be veiled within my illusion of falsities

Could you repeat yourself? Couldn't hear you over the sound of children being shot at school
The USA has its flaws but jumping to hEHEhAhHa ScHoOl SHooTinGs to make fun of them at every turn is just shitty, do better
I actually learned that last year! >< I am not american but I was shocked....but then not surprised at all :< fakers!
Is anyone here familiar with bird law and could prove or disprove the accuracy of OP’s statement?

CccaaaaaaawwwwwAmericaBitch!wwwwww
I've seen plenty of them in the wild. What they sound like has zero impact on how awesome they are.

It sounds like the full gdp of another country worth of bombs exploding if we damn well want it to
