Yup, notice how easily the eagle tore a hole in that jersey.

Such beautiful and majestic creatures they are.

It might have hurt him, Eagles talons are like razors. I'd have screamed, personally!

I guess you've never flown a bird of prey Ghengis? That bird was just looking for an arm to land on. Nothing more.

LOL the OP got me. I was expecting quite a show. Instead it was a scared and confused eagle looking for safety. Otherwise its a really stupid eagle because they can only lift up to about 3 lbs.

Actually I have a very good sense of humor, I just don't like misleading thread titles. This one is one of the few that wasn't a waste of time, or agenda driven.

Actually, he looked pretty calm, under the circumstances. It was obvious that the eagle wasn't trying to hurt him, but even the claws of a small parrot can damage exposed skin when they grab on. The eagle's trainer was wearing protection on his hand and arm for a very good reason. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the player had some nasty scratches on his shoulder.
