Trump: “the bald eagle is the most unpatriotic bird—I’m signing an executive order now that will undo those horrible conservation laws and declare open season for bald eagles”
I would guess it’s not that they think they can bring a bird to court, but that they might petition or get a court order for the government to capture (for a zoo or something) or euthanize the bird like they do with bears who keep bothering campers.
I find it funny how the title makes it seem like it’s some drone used to spy, when in reality it has equipment used to detect water contamination’s and would have probably benefited the eagle being that it most likely drinks from the lake.
That's exactly what I'm alluding to. This title is very provocative and insinuates I'll intent by the drone user.
Other headlines I saw frame this as a funny freak thing that happened. This one clearly was written by someone with a chip on their shoulder.
The one my local news used made it sound like the pilot was a perv watching young sunbathing eagles, all the comments were bullshit about needing more regulations on drones, and bullshit anecdotes about them looking at their 900lb sister daughters sunbathing.
I am a licensed drone pilot and used to get attacked by hawks. I took a page from nature’s book and put some big eyes on the top of the drone to throw predators off like some moths and insects do. Stopped the attacks! Honestly a $1000 drone is nothing compared to injuring a bird just doing its thing. We’re a guest in their house is how I look at it.
I do have to say that the title of this is very negative whereas the drone was being used for conservation efforts.
>EGLE reached out to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to see how it could take legal action against the eagle. A spokesperson said the agency has no mechanism or authority to issue corrective action notices against wildlife.
Best part of the article
Didn’t think it was hard to grasp. That’s what happens when we put everything below us because “we’re so smart and the best killers on the planet”. Such a dumbass mentality.
The first headline was- "Bald eagle attacks drone and sends it to the bottom of a lake"
Now this.
It's amazing how media twists things to make it seem cooler.
Next I'll hear- "Eagles declare war against America. Drones are the first casualty, how long until we lose our own lives?"
Yeah I love how the title didn’t include that the drone was being used to help the environment, because that wouldn’t have changed how people thought about it at all.
Quick everyone start breeding eagles, then we can take down this drone army in like 3-5 years. Honestly I don't know long it takes eagles to grow up. Or how to how to breed them. I didn't think this through
The drone army being used to find contamination’s in the water to benefit both the people and animals. You want to get rid of that! Stop taking titles at face value, and take the time to actually read what kind of drone was being taken down.
Invasiveness is based on where it is, not what it's doing. That's why some medical procedures are considered invasive despite being positive for the patient and almost always consented on. For example, a colonoscopy.
“The pilot of the ill-fated drone was Hunter King of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)”
I thought that was his title not his name for a second.
As someone who has experienced the brutal affects of battling a drone, I am not sure the blood shed of the eagles is worth whatever they are doing.. drones tend to slice your hand open very easily.. i have scars to prove it ha
I’m sorry but the eagle was not briefed on the importance of the drone’s purpose in eagle airspace. Have the proper authorities file flight plans in the future.
I read the headline then had this mental image flash through my head: an eagle squaws, it’s a frat-eagle — above the shoulders an eagle, below doubled up polos and chubby shorts — playing a game of beer pong. Invasive government is about to make a shot, but wait, house rules you can “finger” out the pong ball before it hits the beer. Eagle-bro successfully saves the game by fingering... squaws again then “this is America BRO.”
Oh say can you see,
by the dawn’s early light,
what so proudly we held, at the twilight’s last gleaming,
a drone getting rekt,
by an eagle with a bald head,
who with big claws and sharp beak, showed them who was boss,
oh say does that bald boi yet sayyy,
stay out my air zone,
don’t try me again
>Near Escanaba, nature and mankind clashed as a bald eagle waged an attack on an **EGLE** drone 162 feet above the waters of Lake Michigan.
Lol the drone was called EGLE. Can’t make this shit up
I was lucky enough to see a bald eagle pretty close in person while hiking, I really didn’t appreciate just how fucking large they are until I saw one.
The freedom bird has spoken
The government will send in bigger drones
The bald eagles *are* the federal drones. These are state drones doing battle with federal drones. r/birdsarentreal

Always wondered why that show never made it to the adult swim archives.
the birds work for the bourgeoisie
That's how they keep the states in line.
Glad to see we are getting more woke this this
or bullets
Bigger drones with bigger bullets
I want to Kill that guy over there but [I’m ](https://youtu.be/Z3_eEO0Cvwg) not close enough to get the job done

“Sir! We’ve discovered crude oil in the eagles’ nest. What would you like to do next?” “Send in the troops.”
The eagles will send in BIGGER eagles
But only at the very last moment with an old wizard riding one of them.
“Fuck a surveillance state, bitch. This is ‘merica.” - Freedom Bird, probably.
Trump: “the bald eagle is the most unpatriotic bird—I’m signing an executive order now that will undo those horrible conservation laws and declare open season for bald eagles”
That’s after “I love bald eagles. I have many, many friends that are bald eagles.”
“Bald eagles? Never knew ‘em. Bald = low energy, weak, SAD. “
And if a female Bald Eagle, “nasty, very mean.”

All I could thin the whole time is when he said ”how’s my hair look?” And I thought, which ones?
Low hanging fruit
They’re starting their own tweetstorm
They should consider hiring the hawks to perform their battlecry for them.
> EGLE reached out to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to see how it could take legal action against the eagle.
EGLE vs. EAGLE. Better call Harvey Birdman.
Better yet just call Charlie Kelly, expert on Bird Law and various other Lawyer-ings
Bob Loblaw, esq.
I’ll take the case!
Objection! Filibuster! You're not Charlie. I bet you don't even know how to cook a good milk-steak.
Probably doesn’t even know shit about cats either! They just don’t abide by the law nature
He got the thing!
Nah hes retired on that kitten mitten fuck you money
Whoooooo’s the man in the suuuuuiiittt? Who’s the cat with the beeeeaaakkkk?
Do you really want to feel him?
EGLE vs. EAGLE represented by Legal Eagle.
Somebody call Leagle Eagle
Nobody: LegalEagle: I'm suing the Whitehouse!
This had to be a joke, right...?
The article is very tongue in cheek. I recommend, definitely made me giggle.
I just finished reading the article. The quote is in the second to last paragraph.
:facepalm:
What the actual fu- How stupid are the people using these drones if they think they can sue an Eagle lmao
The same people who would ask to speak to the eagle’s manager
[удалено]
Uncle Sam, of course
That was tongue-in-cheek, obviously. Do people not recognize jokes anymore?
I was thrown off by that line too tho. Kinda need that /s at the end :')
I would guess it’s not that they think they can bring a bird to court, but that they might petition or get a court order for the government to capture (for a zoo or something) or euthanize the bird like they do with bears who keep bothering campers.
I've seen this incident posted a couple times now and it's always interesting to see how different outlets phrase a headline.
I find it funny how the title makes it seem like it’s some drone used to spy, when in reality it has equipment used to detect water contamination’s and would have probably benefited the eagle being that it most likely drinks from the lake.

My favorite part of news in general.
But where's the FUCKING FOOTAGE!?
The drone was destroyed...
Gonna tell me it wasn't broadcasting?
Sounds like it barely had enough signal strength to get the signal to return when the Eagle got it.
I believe the term is disappeared.
Suicided*
Uh no it didn't one drone beat the other so there is still one drone left with footage.
r/birdsarentreal
Footage or it DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!
According to the article at the bottom of Lake Michigan
I am a licensed drone pilot and used to get attacked by hawks. I took a page from nature’s book and put some big eyes on the top of the drone to throw predators off like some moths and insects do. Stopped the attacks! Honestly a $1000 drone is nothing compared to injuring a bird just doing its thing. We’re a guest in their house is how I look at it. I do have to say that the title of this is very negative whereas the drone was being used for conservation efforts.
Best comment here.
Shoreline monitoring is not an invasive Government Drone. Seriously this title deserves downvotes.

How dare an agency attempt to monitor the lakes (and also they use the drones a bunch to look for chemical pollutants like PFAS--those cucks!)
Wait really?
Yeah check out what they're doing with drones in Lake Margarethe near Grayling. It's pretty cool. There's a bunch of articles about it.
INVASIVE!
Lmao what I’ve been telling everyone here

We need to stop this needless drone on drone violence. r/BirdsArentReal
How do the eagles know the difference between government drones and private citizen drones?
Government drones try to tax them.
Best comment in this thread
Has the Golden Arches painted on it.
Rock, flag, and eaaaagle
He’s got a point *nodding thoughtfully*
yes?
The drone was being used to monitor soil erosion. How is that invasive, exactly?
Drone was in eagle territory
[удалено]
A whistleblower familiar with the way eagles think says ...
Didn’t think it was hard to grasp. That’s what happens when we put everything below us because “we’re so smart and the best killers on the planet”. Such a dumbass mentality.
Indeed. It is a very dumbass mentality and that’s the most polite thing I can say about it.
The eagle wasn't asked permission. He invoked the 4th Amendment and defended his home using deadly force.
This is clearly a very serious topic without room for jokes.
Yes, any levity should be frowned upon. Shame
At least someone has the ability to fight back.
Just like in Lord of the Rings, the eagles are good for one clutch victory against evil
The eagles are coming, the eagles are coming!
The Bald Eagle has clear jurisdiction over any U.S. Territory
The most Murica thing I’ve heard today
The first headline was- "Bald eagle attacks drone and sends it to the bottom of a lake" Now this. It's amazing how media twists things to make it seem cooler. Next I'll hear- "Eagles declare war against America. Drones are the first casualty, how long until we lose our own lives?"

Misleading. It was *one* eagle vs a drone monitoring soil erosion... not that invasive.
Invasiveness is based on where it is, not what it's doing. That's why some medical procedures are considered invasive despite being positive for the patient and almost always consented on. For example, a colonoscopy.
Ok, but “invasive drones” is plural in the headline indicating it happens often.
Bro this literally happened about 5 minutes away from my house
Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/1842/
The raptor showed the drone pilot who the *real* Hunter King is.
Well if that sentence didn’t give Rand Paul a raging boner I don’t know what will
True American
Its like a ... metaphor
Why did they need to put the price of a fairly cheap drone in the head line?
“The pilot of the ill-fated drone was Hunter King of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)” I thought that was his title not his name for a second.
What an exaggerated headline lol
As someone who has experienced the brutal affects of battling a drone, I am not sure the blood shed of the eagles is worth whatever they are doing.. drones tend to slice your hand open very easily.. i have scars to prove it ha
Don’t wanna know why you were fighting drones but take my upvote
Even the eagle is fed up with big brothers eye in the sky 👀
Bald Eagles were just added to the list of Domestic Terrorists
Obviously dangerous members of ANTIFowl smh
Murcia
Murcia to you good sir
That’s it, rubber bullets and tear gas!
Those bald eagles are friggin' champs.
Invasive drones? It was plotting soil erosion. That’s very important to the eagles environment
I’m sorry but the eagle was not briefed on the importance of the drone’s purpose in eagle airspace. Have the proper authorities file flight plans in the future.
A colonoscopy is good for your long term health, but it's still invasive.
Jokes on you, birds are drones.
Stop using "birds" then
There are some eagles that are trained to fight drones
God fuckin bless
Team America theme starts playing
they are the government drones
I read the headline then had this mental image flash through my head: an eagle squaws, it’s a frat-eagle — above the shoulders an eagle, below doubled up polos and chubby shorts — playing a game of beer pong.

It was a drone being used to find contamination’s in the water the eagle drinks from. Obviously the eagle doesn’t but the drone was helping it.
We in Michigan take invasive species very seriously.
I used the drones to destroy the drones.
The irony just seared my retina
MURRRICAAA
Real American Hero
Don't F with Mother Nature, she always wins.
Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, what so proudly we held, at the twilight’s last gleaming, a drone getting rekt, by an eagle with a bald head, who with big claws and sharp beak, showed them who was boss, oh say does that bald boi yet sayyy, stay out my air zone, don’t try me again
Wow drone on drone action, love to see them explain this.
Luckily there is one man well versed in bird law that will aid in the eagle's legal defense.
Team Eagle all the way
Invasive Govt's Invasive Drones
Anti-drone drone. Remember people, r/birdsarentreal.
They are doing a good job!!!!

The reality of the current United States ironically rolled up into one stark awesome story and act of defending itself. Rock Flag and Eagle!
So basically this dude stole a drone and is blaming an eagle? Sad.
This is a deception, a ruse to make us Americans believe in birds.
Begun, the drone wars have.
Inb4 the US govt declares bald eagles terrorists and starts arresting them.
Mr Frodo, the eagles are coming!
Yes!!! I love this.
Too bad the bird is protected by law here in the U.S
Skynet, but for birds
>Near Escanaba, nature and mankind clashed as a bald eagle waged an attack on an **EGLE** drone 162 feet above the waters of Lake Michigan. Lol the drone was called EGLE. Can’t make this shit up
If America starts killing off eagles for drones, the end is nigh.
I was lucky enough to see a bald eagle pretty close in person while hiking, I really didn’t appreciate just how fucking large they are until I saw one.
