1. Benjamin Franklin
The Turkey is indigenous to North America. Ben Franklin wanted to use it as the bird on our national seal, but it was voted to be the Bald Eagle instead.
Ben Franklin wanted to make the turkey the national bird, believing that the turkey would be a better national symbol than the bald eagle, who was often seen feeding on carrion, and was therefore, in Franklin's opinion, little better than a vulture. Many people mistakenly refer to Mr. Franklin as a president, he was however never president. He was however a great inventor and founding father.
Yes it is.
