The name "Golden Eagle" is a fever dream of bird enthusiast Conor Hoekstra, who saw it emerge disordered from the Bald Eagle when arguments fg are set equal to cd.

Lambda calculus doesn't have BQN's polymorphism on one or two arguments, so each BQN combinator corresponds to two lambda calculus forms depending on the number of arguments, giving the two columns of birds above.

Inputs are mapped to lambda calculus arguments according to the ordering 𝔽𝔾𝕨𝕩, and GFH for a 3-train F G H. For example, when I write that the combination 𝕨 𝔽˜ 𝕩 corresponds to a call of C or labc.acb, a is 𝔽 and bc are 𝕨𝕩.
