We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The MGM lion roar is also actually a tiger. A real lion roar sounds yawny and gravelly.
While the Bald Eagle sounds like a seagull, it is very frickin loud. I was glad they gave Eagly in Peacemaker real eagle sounds, though I think he is still way too quiet.
Fitting representation of America.
Yep, my first thought when I found this out as well. It is the perfect representation of the US I could ever think of.
And predators don't make loud noises while hunting, since that alerts prey.
Bald Eagles scavenge a lot. I will see them feeding on roadkill more often than fish.
Down in Delta BC there is a garbage dump that is very popular amongst the eagles. You are probably just as likely to see eagles there as crows and seagulls.
There's a great video showing how silently owls fly compared to other birds. I'll link it if I can find it.
Edit: Found it
Yeah alerting something is usually to warn something. Imagine a bear yelling at a salmon instead of catching it. "Hey deer! I'm going to eat you now!!!". Wait, why the fuck did he leave, doesn't he know about pond rules!?!?
It’s always been funny to me that people are totally OK with the idea that punch noises and other cracks and crunches and grunts are made by the Foley team but think sounds like this are totally realistic…

For anyone who was curious like I was. Reminds me of a seagull.
(The link does lead to bald eagle calls, I don't know why the link says golden eagle)

"It's the greatest eagle, the American Bald Eagle, and I'm thinking about renaming it the golden eagle. Thank you for your attention to this matter"
Trump, probably
fucker would try and cover them in gold foil, I'm sure
That surprises me. There is an Osprey nest 100 feet off my shoreline and those things calls are so peircing. They are great looking, and watching them raise thier young is great every summer, but holy fuck they are loud and their calls suck.
Besides, red-tailed hawks do not scavenge while bald eagles do.
Hey now, scavengers have some amazing benefits to the world.
Vultures limit disease transmission and clean up dead stuff that would otherwise stink to high hell.
