The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States.
The bald eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of American, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this continent.
On June 20th, 1782 the Second Continental Congress adopted the bald eagle for the Great Seal of the United States. On the same day, it was also adopted as the national bird of the United States.
The phoenix has not been officially suggested as the national bird of the United States. The bald eagle was chosen as the national bird in 1782 due to its representation of strength and freedom. The phoenix, a mythical bird symbolizing rebirth and renewal, has been more of a cultural symbol rather than a contender for national representation. While it holds significance in various mythologies, it has not been proposed in any formal capacity as a national bird.
There was no President yet, as the bald eagle was named a national symbol on June 20, 1782, under the Articles of Confederation. The President of Congress (presiding officer) was John Hanson, serving a term from November 5, 1781 to November 4, 1782.
