Verrick Fel	Posted - 2009.10.11 12:45:00 - [1] Hi all, would appreciate some of the forumites' collective wisdom to settle a little debate within corp. The debate is about the bird depicted on the Gallente logo. It looks like an eagle to me, but a corpie is convinced it's a chicken. What do you clever people say?

Verrick Fel	Posted - 2009.10.11 13:10:00 - [8] Well, having poked around google a bit over the last 10 minutes or so, I'm standing by my belief that it's an eagle. Does anyone know if there's actually any official line on what it's supposed to be, and if so, any chance of some linkage so I can show my corpie and thus claim my prize? (This debate became a wager shortly after starting this thread)

Unless I'm much mistaken, the Germans, or at least the Prussians, used an eagle for centuries before WW2. Not to mention the Romans, with their legion eagle standards. Don't the Mexicans have an eagle on their flag too? Yep, the German Eagle is one of the oldest extant state insignia in the world, having been in near-continuous use with a few breaks here and there by various German instutions within the Holy Roman Empire, German States and later the Germany Empire and modern Germany, for about 600 years, and it directly derives [AFAIK] from the Roman use of it and it's use by Charlemagne. The HRE adopted the Eagle as a link to the old, true Roman Empire. It evolved into the two-headed eagle in Austria in the 19th Century, but both the single and double-headed eagles are still in use. The Mexicans also have an eagle of their own, but not because of any imperial links, simply because it relates to the Aztec legend of the original founding of Tenochtitlan, where Mexico City is today. /History lesson The Eagle in the Federal emblem is likely probably a link to the US use of it though, since the Gallente are really just an amalgam of many Western democracies rather than just the French. ----- Originally by:** "CCP Whisper" Boo hoo.

iudex	Posted - 2009.10.11 14:22:00 - [23] Eagles as state symbols originate back to the Roman Empire. Since then they are used by many states, a prominent example is the Reichsadler, an eagle with holds the Swastika, used by German "Reich" 1933-1945, which saw itself in many ways as in tradition of the Roman Empire. _____________________________________________________ My skills // Faction Standings: Serpentis +8.02 / Angel Cartel +9.24 / Gallente Federation -10.00

Tagami Wasp Caldari Sarz'na Khumatari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.10.11 17:34:00 - [39] Well, in Europe, where the use of eagles in medieval heraldry originated the eagle is considered a the king of birds, not a scavenger. And just as an aside, the double headed eagle was the emblem of the Byzantine Empire (or the Eastern Roman Empire as they themselves called it) for about 10 centuries (4th-14th) before anyone else used it. The Czars of pre-Communism Russia used it as well, in order to promote the notion that they were the rightful inheritors of the Byzantine Empire (they did marry a lot of those princesses, didn't they?) to no avail, since that idea came to other people as well. Now, here you can see much more clear the bird in question is indeed a Phoenix, due to the characteristic plumage and th shape of the head.

I see them all the time hanging out at the local dump, with the seagulls and whatnot. What? Sorry mate, but if there's a moment to be an amateur ornithologist, then it's now. Fortunately, I am one. Eagles are birds of prey. They actively hunt mammals and birds, and because they are usually the dominant aerial predator, they can usually steal what they can't catch. You'll find lions chasing off cheetahs or hyenas, too, in examples of similar behaviour. Local populations of some species may be more inclined to scavenge, particularly in urban areas, as fresh pickings are less common, but they are biologically fully-fledged birds of prey capable of killing and are classed as such by all ornithologists. I've seen Golden Eagles and Sea Eagles here in the UK catch fresh prey. They are predators first and foremost. ----- Originally by: "CCP Whisper" Boo hoo. Cry some more.
Governor LePetomane Rock Ridge Brokerage Solutions	Posted - 2009.10.11 18:24:00 - [42] It is, obviously, a fine (though reversed) example of that classic heraldic image, the Screamin' Chicken.
Professor Tarantula Hedion University	Posted - 2009.10.11 18:26:00 - [43] Originally by: Eran Laude Eagles are birds of prey. They actively hunt mammals and birds, Nice try, but that's not what defines a bird of prey. A bird of prey only eats it's prey. If you ever watch them trying to feed hawks in captivity, they have to shake the meat around to give the illusion it's alive, because they won't eat dead meat just laying on the ground. Doing that makes an animal a scavenger. My deepest sympathies. Prof. Tarantula, Esq.

What's all this chicken argument aboot? 1) Canadians aren't French. There's some "French" people that live here that people from France (you know, French) claim to be speaking some language they've never heard before. 2) We don't say aboot. We say occasionally say "aboat" due to lazyness/tiredness and hungover inability to move mouth enough to make the proper sound. Whereas persons from certain US states flamboyantly pronounce it "ah-bat" and onto the original topic: Where do we ever see eagles portrayed in simplified form like that with detail of that feather sticking out at the back of the head? This characteristic in particular rarely appears in eagle depictions. Whereas almost every depiction of the phoenix highlights this as a prominent detail.

Alexeph Stoekai Stoekai Corp	Posted - 2009.10.11 20:19:00 - [48] I'm going to shoot down all your theories. It's not an eagle. It's not a phoenix. It's not a falcon. It's not a chicken. There is no reason to assume that any of those birds ever existed on Gallente Prime at any point in its history. It is possible that the bird in the emblem is a stylized version of a bird-like creature native to Gallente Prime, or even a representation of mythical creature that has nothing to do with any earth-living creature (or modern or historical mythic creature). -----
Governor LePetomane Rock Ridge Brokerage Solutions	Posted - 2009.10.11 20:20:00 - [49] As a humorous and thoroughly pedantic aside, the US 101st Airborne division was referred to as "the chicken men" by the Vietnamese due to its distinctive eagle's head shoulder patch. It wasn't an insult; it's just that there are no eagles native to Vietnam.
Tagami Wasp Caldari Sarz'na Khumatari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2009.10.11 20:30:00 - [50] Isn't there a USAF squadron officially named "Screaming Chickens" for the same reason (eagle emblem)?

Sys Root	Posted - 2009.10.11 21:00:00 - [52] Originally by: Axel Strom Don't the Mexicans have an eagle on their flag too? Yup, interesting story, in legend the Aztecs received a message from their gods ordering them to find a location for their capitol city. The gods bade them to find an eagle, eating a snake, whilst perched on a cactus, growing on a rock, half submerged in water. Needless to say it took them a couple of hundred years roaming the lands to find such a site. When they did, they founded their city arround the lake and called it Tenochtitlan, now known as Mexico City.

But they also scavenge whatever else they can find, which is an activity you don't see hawks doing. Mate, please don't try and embarrass yourself further. Eagles are not only birds of prey, but they are the most recognisable raptors in the world. The definition of a bird of prey is any bird that falls in the following families: Accipitridae Pandionidae Sagittariidae Falconidae Cathartidae Eagles fall into the first taxonomical family. Not only that, but all vultures are classified as birds of prey through their presence in the Accipitridae and Cathartidae families. So, either your definition is wrong because eagles apparently are primary scavengers [load of *****s], as are vultures, which themselves are classified as birds of prey taxonomically, or it's wrong because eagles are classified as birds of prey regardless of their hunting methods. Either way, eagles are actively hunting birds of prey. /nerd ----- Originally by:** "CCP Whisper" Boo hoo. Cry some more.

Axel Strom	Posted - 2009.10.12 15:47:00 - [63] Originally by: Josefius Anyway, I think it's a Falcon. But I wonder how the Gallente even got the idea unless the early humans imported birds from Earth to their new planet(s) before the original Wormhole collapsed. Don't rule it out. Bear in mind how many ships and other items are named after stuff from earth, from animals (Rattlesnake, Raven, Badger) to mythological characters (Charon, Valkyrie, Loki) and more.... So if the early colonists didn't import animals from earth, they certainly imported knowledge of them, as well as knowledge of other Earthling ideas.
