In a 1784 letter, Benjamin Franklin criticized the Bald Eagle as a national symbol, calling it a bird of "bad moral character" that is "lazy" and "cowardly" for stealing food from other birds. He favored the Wild Turkey, which he deemed a "more respectable bird," a "true original native of America," and a "bird of courage".
Here you see turkey walking next to parking lot of Concord (CA) John Muir hospital.
