Funny. I tried go ogling “Royal “ Eagle and got nothing. My guess is they are using AMERICAN bald eagles and painting their heads brown. :)

***Eagles are glorified buzzards.***

That is why Ben Franklin wanted the Wild Turkey for our national bird.

I’ll drink to that!

Probably golden eagles. Royal eagle would be literal translation of aigle royal (golden eagle).

It is the way the French call the large bird of prey in their parts, l’Aigle Royale

Daffynition,

I was wondering what their unit patch would be.

At the link is a picture of one of the eagles with his/her Jess on; it has the logo on it and “armee’ de (something)” on the bottom.

I wonder if our bald eagles can be trained in the same manner?

It would be somentng else to see a squadron of those flying!

And dive-bombing haji’s drones.

A 12-gauge Remington Model 870 pump shotgun would probably be just as effective and a lot simpler.

Nature is cruel.

Mother nature can be even more cruel.
