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.
