Bald Eagle Officially Recognised as America’s National Bird

Bald Eagle Officially Recognised as America’s National Bird



The bald eagle, a powerful symbol of the United States, has received formal recognition as the national bird, conferred by President Joe Biden through legislation passed by Congress. The bald eagle is distinguished by its striking white head, yellow beak, and brown body, embodying the spirit of American strength.

Historical Significance

The bald eagle has been associated with the United States since 1782. It was chosen for its majestic appearance and represents freedom and bravery. The eagle has appeared on the Great Seal of the United States since its design was finalized.

The Great Seal of the United States

The Great Seal features the bald eagle prominently. It holds an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and military readiness, respectively. The shield on its chest resembles the American flag, representing unity and patriotism. The motto “E Pluribus Unum,” meaning “Out of many, one,” further signifies the unity of the states.

Recently, the bald eagle was officially designated as the national bird through new legislation. This act rectifies a historical oversight regarding the eagle’s status. The recognition puts stress on the importance of the bald eagle in American culture and identity.

Characteristics of the Bald Eagle

The bald eagle is known for its impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 2.3 metres. Its keen eyesight allows it to spot prey from great distances. The bird primarily feeds on fish but is also known to scavenge.

Once endangered, the bald eagle has made a remarkable recovery due to conservation efforts. Habitat protection and banning harmful pesticides have contributed to its resurgence. The species is now listed as least concern by conservation organisations.
