How did the screech of the red tailed hawk become the sound used for the bald eagles?

Question

I get that the actual sounds of bald eagles don’t sound cool enough or something, I’m just more interested in when did this happen

Movie, T.V., and video game productions hire “foley artists” to create many of the sounds you hear. They often don’t use the actual sound something makes in the production for a variety of reasons but usually its like the eagle where the actual call sounds pretty lackluster, but a red tailed hawk has that iconic screech. Another example is the sound of ice falling into a glass, and the hiss of a carbonated bottle/can opening. Sometimes its easier to add sound in post than it is to mic up a can or a glass in scene. As funny as it is, Monty Python is probably not the only production to use coconuts for horse hooves clopping.
