No, Ben Franklin wanted the Great Seal to have the turkey on it and not the Bald Eagle
The bald eagle has been the national bird of the United States since 1782. Famously, Benjamin Franklin preferred the wild turkey as a national symbol. The bald eagle first appeared as a symbol of America on a copper cent minted in Massachusetts in 1776! Happily, the bald eagle was recently removed from the Endangered Species list.
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.
Because it is the United States Bird
The official symbol of the United States is the bald eagle. Designated as the national bird in 1782, the bald eagle represents freedom and strength. It appears on the Great Seal of the United States and is often associated with the nation's ideals and values.
