The national flag of which country features an orange coloured eagle in flight?

Created in 1964, the national flag of Zambia is green with a block of rectangular stripes of black, orange, and red, over which an orange coloured bird flies. The bird represents an African fish eagle, which also appears on Zambia's national coat of arms. It is a symbol of the people's ability to rise above the country's problems.

The colours of the flag also hold meaning. The green background represents Zambia's natural resources and vegetation and the orange stripe symbolises the country's copper mines. Black stands for the people and red stands for the their struggle for freedom.

The flag was adopted after Northern Rhodesia gained independence from the British protectorate on 24th October 1964.

As well as a new flag, the country adopted a new name, Zambia, and was led by their first Republican President Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda. Before independence, the country used a Blue Ensign (a dark blue background with the UK's flag in the top-left corner).

The Republic of Zambia is a country in southern Africa that shares a border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Angola. It is named after the Zambezi River, which flows through the country and some of its neighbours.
