According to The Tulsa World, the bald eagle filmed below was taking part in a special chapel service at Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma when The Incident occurred.

The bald eagle, whose name is Lewis, was meant to circle the room and then fly back to his trainer at the front of the auditorium, while the crowd shouted ‘USA! USA! USA!’ because of religion.

Lewis had practiced this “five or six times”, assures the ORU spokeswoman, probably through gritted teeth. Not the best use of a bald eagle’s day, but we’ll move on.
