It's not too violent Amir. It is more for the agility of the eagle to fly with large "loads". And the bald eagle is the American national emblem and mascot, a beautiful and amazing big bird, of great agility and power/charisma.

Lots of bald eagles here too where I live, right in front of me on that high tree.

Indeed. I think one of the largest concentrations of bald eagles is near Whistler I think. We also get a large concentration on Skagit River but it makes for super challenging photography. The birds are up in the tree and being in a raft that is going up and down, makes it darn near impossible to shoot them. Add cluttered background and poor lighting and it made for no keepers last time I was there. Here is one of the better ones which is still pretty low quality:

We also have a pair that roost in our bay.

That is very nice too, and interesting to see the white plumage on its tail instead of its neck; Japan White-tailed Eagle compared to North American Bald Eagle ... White-necked Eagle.

And if you look @ the shape of its white tail (Japanese White-tailed Eagle), it reminds me of this:
