The wild turkey readily eats seeds out of manure.

The Native Americans also had high respect for the eagle. I'm surprised they're not demanding we drop the eagle as our American symbol of freedom.

That's sums it up pretty good, lol.

The Bald Eagles range s from Mexico north, coast to coast. Depending on which strain of wild Turkey, half of the country at best.
Then you have the "predator or prey" issue. My opinion is ifa bird was picked, someone thought it through pretty well.

When Ben Franklin recommended the wild turkey to be our USA symbol we did not have the domesticated type of turkeys we have today and the wild turkey had a different image then the turkey of today. So we chose a strikingly bold looking bird that is more of a carrion eater than a predator, but it looks strong and powerful. What we did now to protect that symbol is to the disdain of many who feel we have way, way too many raptors killing our wildlife today. Interesting how we manly times create our own issues.
