I was thinking about this some, seems that eagles are somewhat popular as mascots but you don't see too many turkeys as mascots......

The eagle is an appropriate symbol for Democrats: "For my part, I wish the eagle had not been chosen as the representative of this country. He is a bird of bad moral character; he does not get his living honestly. You may have seen him perched in some dead tree where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the labor of the fishing hawk and, when that diligent bird has at length taken a fish and is bearing it to his nest for his young ones, the bald eagle pursues him and takes the fish. With all this injustice, he is never in good case." ~ Ben Franklin.

I'm pretty sure a full grown tom turkey has more meat than a bald eagle.

Gamecock only lost by one vote, no one brings that up anymore because of the negative light fighting roosters is viewed in.

I have much more respect and admiration for a wild turkey gobbler than a bald eagle.

Glorified buzzard in essence.

If the wild turkey was our national bird we probably wouldn’t be able to hunt them.

I have seen bald eagles many times feasting on coyote carcass piles. Thought turkeys were eating grasshoppers in my garden but they were eating greenbeans too.


I think our national bird should be a middle finger pointed at the hammer and sickle

..because the Wild Turkey is nobler/sharper and not a scavenger/bully.
