John Adams' choice was the bald eagle. It was a battle between himself, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Jefferson wanted the dove; Franklin the turkey. Despite Franklin ranting and raving over the notion of "a cowardly bird" such as the bald eagle, it was put to a vote and the bald eagle won.
