When Bradman came to Canada:

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/when-bradman-came-to-canada-89905

 

Early in 1932 "Foxy Dean", the captain of Ontario from the Toronto and Parkdale Clubs, requested the retired leg-spin and googly bowler Arthur Mailey to select a team of Australian cricketers for a Goodwill Tour of Canada and the United States that was to be subsidised largely by the Canadian Pacific Railway. 

The tour was clearly a very happy one; and one even happier in retrospect after the grim battle of the "Bodyline Tour" that began less than one month after the return of the Australian players. They played mainly in Canada, in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with trips to New York, Detroit, Chicago and California. Even though all the matches, except for two in Canada, were of one day's duration there were two innings a side whenever time allowed. The Australians won 4 matches outright, won a further 39 on first innings, drew 7 and lost just one (on first innings) against a Mainland All Stars XV at Brockton Point, Vancouver, which Bradman was moved to say was "surely the prettiest ground in the world".

If that's supposed to be a Bald Eagle then they have exaggerated it's size or its fighting a joey.
