Bald eagle officially declared US national bird after 250 years :marseylibertyfireworks: :marseyeaglerider: :eaglesipping:

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'. :doomerchud:

"The Bald Eagle is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly…[he] is too lazy to fish for himself. In comparison the Turkey is a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America*...He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage."

-Benjamin "Milf-Hunter" Franklin

*Apparently it was once belived that the bald eagle was migratory and did not spend all of the year in North America.

Yes a wild animal did not evolve to survive rain, a weather phenomenon which famously never occurs in the americas.

I still wish we officialized to the Gadsden flag and America was anthropomorphized as a snake :rattly:

Ben was low key right and the Turkey would be a better bird for America (the worst aesthetics of america are when we just copy the Romans :marseyeyeroll: ) but if it was the national bird we wouldn't eat it.

Someone here suggested it but a type of owl would have gone VERY hard.
