A regal bird, to be sure! Much more deserving of the national emblem. But, as usual, America goes for the glitz, ignoring more basic considerations! And instead, if you're "stupid" (hats off to your comment Barbara...!) you're a real "turkey." We're absolutely hopeless. Vicki...like Avatar??!!

I agree with Benjamin Franklin that the wild turkey should have been our national bird. I think he said something about the bald eagle being a bird of bad moral character (because they steal others' food), but called the turkey a far braver and more respectable bird. <br /><br />Happy Valentine's to you, your husband, and your turkeys! :-)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575140898505901920noreply@blogger.com
