The bald eagle has officially been declared the "national bird" of the United States of America, after President Joe Biden signed a law honoring the yellow-billed bird of prey.
The bird has been a national emblem in the US for years, appearing on the Great Seal of the US, used on US documents, since 1782.
But it wasn't officially designated as the "national bird" until Congress passed the bill last week, sending it to Biden's desk for signature.
"For nearly 250 years, we called the bald eagle the 'national bird,' when it wasn't, but today it is official," Jack Davis, co-chair of the National Bird Initiative for the National Eagle Center, said in a statement. (A2 Televizion)
