UNALASKA -- Images of eagles cover postal service vehicles and uniforms nationwide, but in the Aleutian Islands, real live eagles are landing on the heads of customers picking up mail at the Dutch Harbor post office.

Last time, they washed the nest away with a fire hose.

Maybe they should stop wearing those coonskin caps.

You racist hater

I like bald eagles. They taste just like chicken.

Maybe they should stop wearing those coonskin caps.

This sounds like a job for Donald Trump and his amazing hair.

Can't be messing with eagles.

Thyme—keep on snippin’, snippin’, snippin’
Into this stewed bird.
Time to be flippin’, flippin’, flippin’
This barbecued bird.

I’m gonna fry up an eagle,
So tasty.
Fry up an eagle,
Sip spirits preprandially.
I’m gonna fry up an eagle. . .
No gravy
Or pork—wallows, no ablution.

Feed my facie,
Not prima, but where I eat.
Shoot to kill ‘em—
I mean eagles, not skeet.
Hound retrieves ‘em,
Brings me back the treat,
Bow-bow barks in profusion.

I’m gonna fry up that eagle,
So tasty.
Fry up that eagle
Or spit-stick it handily.
I’m gonna slice up that eagle
Hastily.
Dining prompts its diminution.

I keep on dippin’, dippin’, dippin’
Into this stewed bird,
Fry juice is drippin’, drippin’, drippin’
Out from that chewed bird.
I keep on wishin’, wishin’, wishin’
That I’d bagged two birds.

Wearing a pancake on your head is rumored to protect you from both Bald Eagles and Zombies.

Very painful and true.

God! what an awesome creature so majestic

Where I live in Washington I see them almost every day. I never get tired of watching them.

I wonder if “unpalin” is their mayor?

Silly me for believing Alaskans knew how to deal with living in Alaska. Hey, a fire hose worked once, so do it again. Fire off a few shots and make noise before they get their nests built. Fireworks, too. Don’t come into town smelling of whatever you just butchered. Chop down any tree within a block of the PO. Don’t leave garbage around. Once you let them nest, they’ll come back the next year.

[PIF]

You can see how short a supply there is of these once endangered birds.

From the video: “Like the Kamikazes, you know, at Pearl Harbor”. Riight. And she’s old enough to know better.

We should have listened to Ben Franklin, turkeys would not act like this.

Uh-oh. I’ll do some pre-post research next time!
