An old grizzled rooster just wouldn't have the same effect. Yeah, that's right.

The rooster is the perfect symbol for the french:
- they like chicks
- they keep singing even when standing knee-deep in manure

 ;)

Then again roosters are populating rapidly and doing well where the white head (bald) eagle is at the brink of extinction...  :P

You're a bit behind the times...  In some places bald eagles are becoming as common (and annoying) as pigeons.

According to wikipedia at least they were upgraded to a status of 'endangered' a few years back. I think it's safe to assume there are a few more chicken in the world still though :)

Yep, roaches are one of the few species that will survive a nuclear holocaust for example. When evolution takes play the next intelligent species may be armor plated smart insect :)

Unfortunately it is illegal to eat them, or possess their feathers.  Although if one could talk you could just ask it since nearly every living eagle killed and ate it's smaller sibling in the nest.

I think the also eagle hunts for its food like fish and rodents and chicken and roosters

Watch a rooster in the yard and you'll see them pecking on cow droppings and anything else they are interested in.

You were saying.

United States

Visit Madison, Minnesota to try its pride and joy: Lutefisk. Granted, its origins are Scandinavian, but Minnesotans have embraced this delicacy and made it their own.

Whitefish such as cod is soaked in caustic lye soda for days, which gives it its unforgettable aroma. It is then baked or boiled and doused with butter to make its jelly-like consistency easier to tolerate.

Rounding out our list is a member of the onion family known as Ramps. Widely consumed in West Virginia and other parts of Appalachia, its flavor is a strong mix of garlic and onion. Be sure to stop by the annual "Stinkfest" in Bradford, Pennsylvania to sample various dishes featuring ramps.

Yeah yeah... So some of your American cousins have bad taste too. If they worked a little harder to mix those genes, we wouldn't have this problem.

Oh wait, it's getting its food on it's own. Don't remember last time I saw a rooster do that.

Um, no.  The Bald Eagle has been taken off the endangered species list, but kept on the "protected" list for multiple reasons. 

Every year it seems I see more and more of them in the IA, SD, MN, and the Canadian boundary waters where we go fishing off the NW Angle.

Same here. I've been going camping on the upper Delaware Rive for nearly 30 years. When I first started going up there and Eagle sighting was rare at best. Over the years Ive seen it gradually improve to seeing them pretty frequently over the last few years. We went up this past August and seeing them was relitively common to the point where on several occasions a few flew by our campsite only a 100 yards away. One morning two flying side by side flew past  about 20 feet over the water headed downstream only 50 yards away.
Left me wishing I had my camera with me

Now I hear we have a mating pair in Princeton.
Keep in mind in this area my entire life I've never heard so much as a hawk outside of very rural areas. Now thats commonplace too.
Seems all of our raptors are coming back

In Petersburg, AK you couldn't shake a stick without pointing at a bald eagle. I was really surprised how many there were.

Look at it this way, mon ami ... You have skinnier women, better food, better wine,  the Riviera (even if it is largely owned by the Russian Oligarchy), and common borders with Italy and Monaco.

We have Rosie O'Donnell, the Gulf Coast, Taco Bell, Budweiser and share a border with Mexico.

Can't you just take the flaming and call it even?
