        Never had a national bird, according to this article. Thank God our infinitely wise and useful government got on that before they lost all their power to actually do anything meaningful or helpful. 🦅🇺🇸

        It’s what Franklin wanted. And Franklin had humor and consistent set of morals. And got France to back us up by having sex with so many French women.

        I think the Turkey would be better than a bird we have to ADR in the screech of another animal.

          Turkeys: invasive, will absolutely move in and fuck up your shit

          Bald Eagle: almost went extinct because it ran out of a particular type of tree.

          Turkeys: will eat literally anything under the sun. Grass. Seeds. Other, smaller inferior turkeys. Car bumpers.

          Bald eagles: almost went extinct because salmon was in short supply.

          Turkeys: big, fat, aggressive birds with absolutely no fucks to give. The Always Sunny crew if they were all birds and not just D.

          Bald Eagles: sleek, reclusive, and quiet. Literally sounds like a mouse.

          It’s turkeys, it was always turkeys. It’s not even close.

            It was hunting (considered pests) and DDT (pesticide that made the eggshells break too easily) that made eagles almost go extinct.
