  <name> lights a sparkler and stabs your foe with it for X damage. Some of the sparks land right on your brain! Whooo!

  You gain X Mana Points.

  <name> shoots your foe with a red, white, and blue firework, doing X damage. The sparks rain down on you inspiringly.

  You gain X Mana Points.

  <name> shoots a large firework rocket at your foes, causing X damage. The red glare it gives off, and the way it bursts in the air, reminds you of something you can't quite put a finger on, but it's very inspiring.

  You gain X Mana Points.

• <name> shoots your foe with a patriotic firework, causing X damage. "Ooh!" you say, dutifully. "Ahh!" "Ouch!" your opponent adds.

Giving stats:

<name> grins and hums a national anthem. (+X Stats)

<name> snaps off a salute with a confident grin. (+X Stats)

<name> smiles at a flag off in the distance. (+X Stats)

Recovering from Patriotic Screech:

<name> makes a small noise, but his throat is still too raw to screech.

<name> tries out a small screech and starts coughing.

<name> gives you the old "I'm ready to screech" wings up.

<name> lets out a tentative screech and then somehow smiles, letting you know he's ready.

Producing a souvenir flag:

<name> reverently plants a flag in the ground in front of you.

<name> swoops over head and drops something for you.

It almost sounds like <name> caws, "Happy Dependence Day," as he drops something at your feet.

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  Perched atop your head, <name> shoots some fireworks at your foe, dealing X damage.

• Bjornified in the Buddy Bjorn:

  Perched on your back, <name> shoots some fireworks at your foe, dealing X damage.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <name> shoots you a wink beneath your Tam O'Shanter, which may or may not be incongruous depending on where you're from.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  As a bird that has evolved specifically to carry brightly colored ribbons in his beak and/or talons, <name> is fully in his element when flying around a maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:
  

  The mental image of an eagle wearing wax lips is so funny to me, I can't think of any other joke about it.

Notes

While your active familiar, grants the following combat skills:

• %fn, let's pledge allegiance to a Zone: Gives varied buffs based on zone.

(Enchantment seeded by zone ID. Can give up to +30% item, +50% meat, +100% init, +10&10 elem dmg, and/or some other minor buffs. Spreadsheet)

• %fn, fire a Red, White and Blue Blast: Meet with monster twice again in the same zone, with limits.

(Use vs a copiable monster. Does not end combat. Banishes all monsters native to the current zone, other than the current monster; banishment persists until the current monster has been encountered twice more. Skill recastable after 49-turn ELRWB has been cleared.)

• %fn, Release the Patriotic Screech!: Banish current monster's phylum from all zones.

(Use vs any monster. Does not end combat. Banishes all monsters of the current monster's phylum (from all zones); banishment persists for 100 turns or until the skill is recast. Skill recastable after 11 fights won with the eagle active.)

Note that the two mass-banisher skills can have interesting interactions with sniff effects.
