I would like to draw an eagle with TiKz, with one continuous curve. The eagle can be simpler, but basically like this with symmetric wings.

The tikz code is needed to replace the bird below with the eagle

\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=.55]
    \clip(0,0) .. controls (.15,.35) and (2,-.1).. (2,0.5)--++(0,4)--++(-4,0)--++(0,-4) ..controls(-2,-.1) and(-.15,.35) ..(0,0);


\draw[line width=9pt, color=yellow!76](0,-1)--(0,5);

\draw[line width=9pt, color=yellow!76](-2,2.35)--++(4,0);
    \draw[thick](0,0) .. controls (.15,.35) and (2,-.1).. (2,0.5)--++(0,4)--++(-4,0)--++(0,-4) ..controls(-2,-.1) and(-.15,.35) ..(0,0);

\newcommand\bird[1]{%
    \begin{scope}[#1]
        \filldraw (0,0) --%
        (10,-5) -- (19,8) -- (35,7) -- (38,-12) -- (60,0) --%
        (75,23) -- (80,40) -- (52,37) -- (74,50) -- (52,50) -- (60,60)--%
        (38,48) -- (35,67) -- (19,68) -- (10,55) -- (0,60) --%
        (-8,50) -- (14,50) -- (-8,37) -- (20,40) -- (15,23) -- cycle;
        \begin{scope}[draw=gray]
            \draw (35,15) -- +(-25:25) (40,20) -- +(-20:25) (42,25) -- +(-15:25) (40,30) -- +(-10:30);
            \draw (1,55) circle (1);
            \draw[clip] (24,55) circle (4);
            \filldraw[gray] (27,52) circle (4);
        \end{scope}
    \end{scope}
}

\bird{shift={(.7,.7)}, fill=yellow!33, scale=.013};
\bird{shift={(-1.5,.7)}, fill=yellow!33, scale=.013};

\bird{shift={(.7,3)}, fill=yellow!33, scale=.013};
\bird{shift={(-1.5,3)}, fill=yellow!33, scale=.013};

    
\end{tikzpicture}

    Why? That is, why in tikz?

  • Yes, since the arm coat is used in several color options, tikz is needed.

    There is a package named worldflags on CTAN. It contains all of the world's flags done in TikZ. I am sure there is a suitable eagle in all these flags and coats of arms somewhere …

    Have you taken a look at the actual package? There is TikZ code for the German and Austrian vexillological eagles in there, not to mention the provincial flags of Upper and Lower Austria, Burgenland and the Tyrol, all of which contain an eagle of sorts.

    It is possible to export paths to TikZ format via Inkscape. Maybe this is the way to go here. If you don't have a vectorised format of the eagle, you need to draw the paths first, of course. Some graphics editing software should be able to trace the paths for you. But actually, what is wrong with your solution? =) Commented Aug 16, 2023 at 7:14

Here's one way to do it. (Or use the alternative way of digitizing manually.)

Preparations:

  • use a drawing program like Paint.net to remove background (inverted mask)
  • and to turn everything into black, including the gray circles top right
  • use a program like inkscape to turn it into SVG

In fact, I used a program from the Apple world, which allowed some simplification of the path during conversion. You could turn the SVG-path into Tikz syntax, but for what purpose? There are enough tools, both on- and offline, which allow editing such SCG-pathes. // If the code is too long, move the pic-part into a file and \input it. // See also tag svg here.

Tikz

  • define a pic-style, which just includes the SVG-path
  • place \pics, just like you'd place nodes
  • make sure to yscale=-1 to account for the different coordinate systems
  • I used one of the birdies to scale them smaller for demonstration purposes

Left to do: fill the SVG path.
