The American bald eagle is now officially the national bird of the United States. Image AP The bird of prey with the white head, yellow beak and brown body has been on the seal used on documents of the American federal government, military insignia and the presidential flag since 1782. But it has not had official status as the national bird for the past 240 years. In addition to the American bald eagle, the so-called Great Seal of the United States also features an olive branch, a collection of arrows, a shield, the motto 'E Pluribus Unum' ('Out of many, one') and a constellation of stars. The American bald eagle, also called the white-headed sea eagle, has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782. Many Americans therefore assumed that it had also been the national bird since then, writes the news channel ABC, among others. But it has only really been that since Tuesday.Weight 18 lb.

Vintage Cast-Iron Eagle Sculpture, Early 20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a cast-iron figural eagle doorstop, circa early 20th century. The eagle is depicted with wings spread wide, perched and mounted to a square marble base. The eagle retains traces of its original gilt surface and is embossed with “F.O.E.” at its midsection, possibly referring to the Fraternal Order of Eagles.   The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The eagle motif has been widely used throughout American history, most notably as part of our Great Seal. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent.
