  • Klamath Falls, United States - November 13, 2018 The bald eagle is now officially the national bird of the US, after President Joe Biden signed a law on Christmas Eve bestowing the honour upon the white-headed and yellow-beaked bird of prey.

The article from MSN discusses the historical significance of the bald eagle being officially recognized as the national bird of the United States. It highlights that after 250 years since its symbolic adoption, the bald eagle was formally declared the national bird through legislative action. This recognition came after a long period where the bald eagle was not only a symbol of freedom and strength but also faced threats of extinction due to habitat destruction and pesticide use. Conservation efforts over the decades have helped increase its population, leading to its removal from the endangered species list in 2007. The article also touches on the cultural and political importance of the bald eagle, reflecting American values of freedom, independence, and resilience.
