Bald eagles, unique to North America, are the continent's second-largest raptor after the California condor. They're common in Alaska and can be found across Canada and the US, as far south as Florida and Baja, California. In 1782, just six years after US independence, the bald eagle became the nation's symbol. Once there were tens of thousands across the continental US, but by 1963, their population dropped to 417 pairs. Thanks to conservation efforts like banning DDT, restricting lead, and limiting harmful pesticides, their numbers recovered and they were downgraded from endangered to threatened. Scientifically known as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, these bald eagle mini figures are symbols of the US. They're about an inch long, the size of a mini candy bar. Nest them in Fourth of July treats or use them in US history projects. They also make amazing patriotic gifts.

These lucky miniature bald eagle figurines are super versatile. You can place them in Fourth of July treats to add a patriotic touch. Just gently press them into the treats without applying too much force to avoid breakage. For US history projects, you can glue them on the display board. When using them as gifts, you can put them in a small box and wrap it nicely. To keep them in good condition, avoid getting them wet as moisture may damage the paint. Also, store them in a dry place away from sharp objects to prevent scratches. Handle them with care when moving them around to avoid any accidental drops that could break them.
