Fun fact, eagles don't actually hunt animals that can fight back. They're highly opportunistic, and their diet consists mostly of fish. https://t.co/v0dNiCNHbY

Incredible that the US Ambassador retweets this garbage. What a way to live a life. https://t.co/NRlaxw4Ip9

While the more gentle species of bird here did get attacked by a more aggressive species. The goose fought back, stood up tall, didn’t submit- and ultimately the eagle flew away confused and still hungry. pic.twitter.com/JVB2mpFaxY

The funny thing is this fight actually ended with the eagle flying away. Just like Americans do with every war they start and lose. 😂 https://t.co/2V4XyOM5SM

The level of Trump regime hate propaganda against Canadians is nearing the level of Putin regime anti-Ukrainian hatred.
The image is from a real incident. The Canada goose fought back against the bald eagle and survived.
There are more bald eagles in Canada than the USA. https://t.co/djml1cxcqg

More infantile slop from the White House. And as anyone who has ever encountered a Canada Goose knows, the bald eagle would be in tatters after this encounter. https://t.co/2hXgxnk5Eq

It’s not every day the American government uses you as a symbol of weakness. Luckily, we know better don’t we? pic.twitter.com/lpXjNhZuRo

We Republicans once campaigned on bringing dignity back to the White House. https://t.co/YnM95z3cFo

Remember this?
The Canada goose in the image the White House just posted actually ended up beating the eagle pictured—which makes me sad, because I like to see eagles occasionally get wins—so here, in the interest of hot-blooded American patriotism, is an eagle effortlessly defeating a chicken pic.twitter.com/IKPMJFzFML

Here’s an explanation from Mervyn Sequeira, the photographer who captured the shots of the eagle and goose fighting it out before the eagle turned tail and fled.
