My wife is a master falconer. She loves eagles, but sticks with big female Red Tail hawks. Even her Red Tail has taken a “ride” on her Jack Russell terrier. Fortunately no damage. An eagle walking up your arm can sink talons deeply enough to cut a major blood vessel. A full arm glove with protection for neck and shoulder is recommended. The poodle was lucky.
It’s amazing how strong raptor’s talons are. You can find videos on You tube of Mongolian horsemen using eagles to actually hunt and kill wolves. If they can kill a wolf, they could kill a person. Of course they can’t take off with them, but they don’t have too much of a problem killing them. Just unbelievable power.
