I'm surprised by eagle being so low. Like, they don't exactly have a ton of mass, and can't pick you up. If you can avoid getting blinded, there's not a whole lot they can do to you that isn't superficial scratches. If you can grab them, it's over.

I think you are underestimating how much an eagle talon can fuck up your face and neck, and difficult it would be to restrain one unarmed.

Okay, I grabbed it and now it opened two of my arteries. What should I do next?

Everyone thinks they could win a fight against a little person until they find out he’s holding knives in each hand and another in his mouth. Also eagles are huge.

Most of an eagle's size is their wings.

Anyone could thrash an eagle stupid, even the big ones. But if they get hold of you first, yeah, those wounds won't be superficial.

Ask a falconer about getting "footed" by their bird.

Full size eagle could easily break your hand, or possibly your forearm, if it got the right grip. No claws needed.
