The Wild Turkey.
Ben Franklin
Benjamin Franklin signed the Declaration of Independence and wanted the turkey as the national bird.
Stumped, however - Benjamin Franklin wanted the wild turkey.
He wanted the turkey. He thought the bald eagle was a predator and didn’t deserve to be the national bird.

Turkey.
Yes it is.

When Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird, others wanted the eagle so the US protects the eagles
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.
