The Story Of The Eagle

Here is my attempt at recreating a video that was Emailed to me. Its online somewhere, but I wanted to see if I could make a version of my own. It turned out to be very labor intensive using Pinnacle studio. Each letter you see typed was a frame. My guess is the video was created using powerpoint. Anyway, enjoy!

11/7/2010: The info it turns out IS false.. You can learn more at http://www.snopes.com/critters/wild/eaglerebirth.asp

This is bs! I am an eagle expert and I know that no such thing happens! There beak and talons remain sharp until they die of old age! And how could they survive for 5 months without food or water!? Huh just what I thought! Where did u get this crap!? Wikipedia?!

@Skylartheepicpony If you had read the blub I I typed in under the video, you would see that I admitted it was false.

I don't think this is cute at all. It's not true and makes absolutely no sense.

I love eagles and you have done them a disservice with your banality.

While it's a cute metaphor, it would be better if you used an animal that actually *does* remove part of itself as it grows. Eagles do no such thing. How ridiculous.

Maybe you should do this with a cockroach, or something. They actually *DO* shed their exoskeleton and grow bigger with each moult.

@tianlin If you read under my description you will read that I found the information to be false and there is a link to snopes explaining why.

I am in my 40's and can retire from my city job as a correction officer after 20 years of service. I had to make a choice, stay in a dead end negative job or retire and do something I always wanted to do. I chose to put my papers in and search for something different, something better for me. Many think I am crazy to leave a good paying job and take my chances in a bad economy. but I think and feel I am doing what is right for me, in order to keep my soul alive and my truth alive. I will change.

@AquaCarb well now i feel retarded

@GlennMarshallRocks If you had read read the WHOLE description under the video you will find that I had said something similar.

@fernandoluis7 , we need people like you in order to save humanity

[MrStratocaster1949]

I read your story with great interest. I had heard this years ago. I had no idea it wasn't true. Still, I think it shows that there may be times in our lives that we must make changes in order to overcome, to live and not die. I think your story was great and I don't think you did a dis-service to the Eagle. You just used them for an example.

Yes! True Wisdom! We must to do the same!

I'm an eagle! In my 40's Wrong choices had led me to have my wings stuck to my chest, I decided to change, I decided to fight for my life...left my country, left my friends, left my family, left my job, and started a new life...I not only saved my life, I have the most rewarding, beautiful life I could ever dream if.

That was very cool but it needs some music with it :(

@AquaCarb hi. I saw that some people got hung up on the idea that the info was false... but I think it's an inspiring story and maybe you should redo the video;

When you state facts and they turn out to be false, ppl will have distrust in you; but if you would like to bring forth a message, it is sometimes better to use metaphors, symbols and life experience.

That's why if you make it in a form of a fable, ppl will focus on the lesson of the story, not the trivial details.

peace

@fernandoluis7 I hope your decision got you on a fruitful journey. It was a brave think to do and I truly hope from my heart that it has turned out to be a transformation to the better.
