Didn't ol' Ben Franklin also advocate that our national bird should have been the turkey instead of the bald eagle?
Male Turkeys are actually naturally colored in resplendent Red, White, and (warning: oxford comma), Blue!
Turkeys are a Native North American species, not found anywhere else on Earth!
Male Turkeys spend most of their time managing a harem of hens, and think nothing more than eating and re-producing. What an existence!
Eagles are vicious raptors/scavengers that are little more than buzzards, with better PR.
