Yahoo Autos How bald eagles really sound (it’s not like in the movies)
The Alaska Raptor Center on Saturday shared footage showing bald eagles vocalizing loudly while perched on a branch.
These are typical bald eagle sounds, almost chirpy, like laughter – not anything like the iconic screeches you hear from eagles portrayed in Hollywood.
The Alaska Raptor Center, a nonprofit hospital/rehabilitation facility for raptors, explained as much in the following video Tweet.
