Yeah the bird is on a flat roof maybe a garage or something similar on the same height or slightly below the window

there’s some freaky perspective shit going on there. They’re big. but they’re not economy car big.

Grass roofs are amazing.

Yeah whatever surface it’s on, it’s slightly elevated. It’s a big bird but there’s some optical illusion going on.

Need banana for scale

Moped big at most, since we’re measuring in vehicles.

The wingsman can easily be 8 to 9 ft if it’s female

Look at the first picture, wings aren’t spread. The largest baldies are recorded as having 8 foot wingspans- in alaska. They tend to be smaller closer to the equator.
For comparison, if that’s a Hyundai Elantra behind it, it’s 15 feet long. (Close enough for 4 doors whatever it is.)

From what I can see : The car is down slope and probably 35 ft away. The eagle is on the slope and probably 15 ft away. It has an 8 to 9-ft wingspan roughly.

yes. it’s forced perspective. which is what I alluded to by saying “some freaky perspective shit going on”
not saying the bird is actually ginormous. just that it looks ginormous. they’re big birds. Big, dumb birds. (I agree with with Franklin. turkeys > bald eagles. also there’s something hilarious about them trying to get crab apples
