Hey cut him some slack. He just wanted to be a father really bad. Often male eagles will assist in taking turns brooding the eggs with the mothers and many other parental duties
“He was sitting on a rock and everybody told him, ‘It’s a rock, it’s not going to hatch,’” Griffard tells the Post. “And all of a sudden, in his mind, it hatched and he has a chick.”

A male bald eagle that believes it's a female? This is like prime Fox News outrage fuel.
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works · 24 pts · 2y
It's pretty typical for male bald eagles to take part in parental duties.

Although its probably a bad idea it's probably mostly socially acceptable to hug an eagle for being a good dad.
I don't think it's either a good idea or socially acceptable to hang an eagle under any circumstances.
