The bald eagle is now officially the national bird of the US, after President Joe Biden signed a law on Christmas Eve bestowing the honour upon the white-headed and yellow-beaked bird of prey.
Founding Father Benjamin Franklin objected to the creature being chosen to represent the country, calling it a "bird of bad moral character".
Fitting. For the times they are a-changin'.
