Bald Eagle Recognised as National Bird

The bald eagle has been formally recognized as the national bird of the United States through legislation signed by President Joe Biden. Symbolizing American strength, the bald eagle has been associated with the nation since 1782 and features prominently on the Great Seal of the United States, representing unity, peace, and readiness. Once endangered, the species has recovered due to conservation efforts and now represents resilience and patriotism. This new recognition rectifies a historical oversight and reinforces the bird's role in American cultural and environmental heritage.
