There is a legend that Benjamin Franklin wanted our national bird to be the turkey. I don't know if there is any truth to it, but it seems that the turkey is a very smart bird and would represent us well.
OK. I wonder. Ever look into the face of a turkey? Would that be the look we want with the waving flag in the background? I dunno.
Also, if that HAD been the case, would we protect turkeys and instead eat eagles on Thanksiving? Would we say *when describing someone of questionable sensibility) "that guy is a real 'eagle'"....or, have a famous rock song "Fly like a turkey". Or, would we substitute eagle for beef in hot dogs when we wanted to eat healthy?
It's mind boggling. The list of possiblities is a real eagle shoot.
