Golden Eagle R5 Mark II & RF20-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM HandheldGolden Eagle R5 Mark II & RF20-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM Handheld

Golden Eagles sometimes yeet themselves off cliffs on purpose.  Not to hunt, not to fight, and not to impress a mate.  Just to vibe. They'll grab a stick, fly high, drop it, dive after it, catch it, and do it again like some kind of a feathered Labrador with a death wish. Scientist call it "play behaviour."  I call it "extreme fetch."  They have also been documented stealing food from foxes by swooping in, kicking the fox in the face, and leaving with the prize like a medieval tax collector.  The fox is left standing there like: "bro."  

Cheers,
Joe
