A most noble fowl
Time: 1784
Question For: America
Question:
"I am on this account not displeased that the figure is not known as a Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the truth the Turkey is in comparison 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, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his farm yard with a red coat on."
Hey, I think that Ben guy's got the right idea! The turkey would make a wonderful symbol for a promising young republic such as yourself, dontcha think?
(Others are free to chip in~)
