Flying this Week?

How would you like to sit next to this? Close up and next to a person, this bird looks huge.

@on the bay. I bet he's not housebroken, are you sure?

@Kachina624Yes, I'm sure!

Because how many times do you get to sit next to someone like him?!

I didn't realize they got so big. Eagle is magnificent.

Sitting next to the eagle would be preferable to many of the humans that I've had to sit next to. He's not likely to be drunk, listen to music without headphones, give himself a a pedicure or many of the other inappropriate behaviors I've been subjected to.

What a spectacular creature! I don't think I'd mind sitting next to him. I'd enjoy being so close to something so magnificent.

I think he would need TWO seats...

I don't think he needs an airplane. He could make the flight all by himself!

I wouldn't mind sitting next to him. Probably better behaved than most kids and some adults.

LOL. I didn't even think about that. Hahaha. Kind of funny that a bird would be on a plane.

What a terrible thing to do to such a beautiful creature.

I would be afraid he would poke one of my eyes out.

He would never be transported unrestrained. There has to be a carrier for him.

Not for me. No thanks I wouldn't want to sit near him.

I'd be thrilled to the max and thankful for the privilege

He's glorious.

It's a wild animal protected by federal and state laws. I don't believe it is real. Wonder if the owner pays for 3 seats.

@CrazyDaisy

I just read that he's in a crate that takes up two bulkhead seats and sits next to a handler. He goes through security and is trained to flap his wings for TSA agents. He's 30 inches high and weighs 7.5 lbs.

He gets his own hotel room. They remove the furniture and cover the floor with a tarp. He likes to watch TV and prefers nature shows.

He has defective talons which prevent him from hunting in the wild so he lives in a bird sanctuary.

I would keep my distance. I am afraid of eagles. I have personally seen them swoop down and grab bunnies and cats right off the ground. They grab dogs too, though I have never personally seen that.

Eagles are very plentiful where we spend our summers. I see them grab fish out of the lake and ducks right off the water.

I keep an eye on my small dogs. I don't trust eagles. They are strong and mighty and they are protected. You can't legally do much to keep them away.
