Wedgetail Eagle - Put your pets away in the bush.

[Bally]

There are a pair of these birds that hover nearby over my selection. When I see them up there, in all honestly, I make sure my small animals are locked up.

Twice they have made landfall and try to carry of my white goose ("crackers"). On those occasions I've luckilly, while inside the house, been nearby and run out to save 'crackers' who obliges by trying to 'goose' me.

Anyway, one of our premium aircraft was tagged with this name.

My regards,

Yikes!

We have American bald eagles around here that seem like parakeets by comparison.

My only eagle story is one day my grandson and I were out at the Salt river trying to fish when an eagle came dive bombing down and grabbed a fish out of the water and flew off with it. It was like watching a nature documentary or something and we kind of went "wow, that just happened!" We didn't catch any fish but did tangle up a lot of line and lost a lot of lures. Some things I really suck at.

You don't suck at it, that's just called fishing. I've tangled miles of line and I don't want to think about much I've spent replacing lures. That's the nature of the beast.

we have a smaller version of an Eagle local, called an Osprey
I've seen them snatch fish.
(they don't get their lines tangled though)
