    Isn't נֶשֶׁר more like "vulture"? I thought עַיִט was "eagle."

      What is wrong with saying הנשר הוא יפה? i thought this was proper usage in hebrew? I understand that הנשר יפה is correct but i thought my response would be correct also...?

      It's redundant when connecting the subject to its adjective. You'd use הוא in a sentence like הנשר הוא ציפור גדולה
