We forgot to mention it, but June 20 was Bald Eagle Day, which is really just a pre-drinking party for Independence Day, a not-so-dry dry run. Sadly, it isn’t a big enough national event to merit its own parade, yet. In hopes of spurring the tradition, though, we’ve rounded up some of the eagles we’d like to see at the inaugural Bald Eagle Day Parade. Please give a hand to these 13 Special Bald Eagles:

Old and Senile Bald Eagle

He’s cranky, he’s delirious, he’s being taken to an eagle nursing home.

Patriotic Bald Eagle Costume

It’s the bumper-sticker slogan that never gets old!

Bald Man with Bald Eagle

Awesome. Terrifying.

Giant Eagle

If it ever comes to life, Marshmallow Man-style, we’re screwed.

Serious Bald Eagle Shirt

With its waving flag and lightning bolt, it’s like the three wolves moon t-shirt, but more patriotic.

Ironic Bald Eagle Shirt

Is it patriotic? Is it environmentalist? Is it just ironic?

Bald Eagle Construction Hat

Be the coolest guy on the site!

Bald Eagle Eating Mexican

Like a real American.

Lego Bald Eagle

Well, duh.

Bald Eagle Kid

If you get ‘em while they’re young they develop better survival and hunting instincts.

Bald Eagle in the Bathroom

If you ever take a bald eagle as a roommate, be warned: they take FOR EVER in the bathroom.

Bald Eagle and Cat

The eagle might look intimidated, but that cat is screwed.
