The eagle's popularity lies in its ability to be photographed and the ability of that photograph to be transferred into different mediums.

Wall Calendars, Chest and Arm Tattoos, Backgrounds of Credit Cards, Ironic T-Shirt, Un-Ironic Ed Hardy T-shirts, Lighters, Handlebars and Other Motorcycle Accesories, Political Cartoons, Surface Area, Bullet Box Containers, Coffins, Eagle Food, Toilet Seats, Saw Handles, etc.
