Re: C&TSRR Wild Turkey (photos) - the National Bird ... eye popping smiley

Hi, Roger -

IIRC, Ben Franklin urged that the WILD turkey - as different from today's domestic turkey
as Arrogant Bastard Ale is from wussy fizzy yellow beer - be named the National Bird.
He claimed that turkeys were noble and self-reliant, whereas the bald eagle was merely
a scavenger.

Franklin lost his argument, but the turkey is still our National Bird - at least on Thanksgiving Day.
