Thank you for reading my blog. I hope that you're having a really good day.
Most of you know that the bald eagle is the national bird of the United States of America. But did you know that there were some people at the time our country was founded that wanted the national bird to be the turkey? One of those people was Benjamin Franklin, the man who discovered electricity.
Some people refer to a turkey as a "gobbler" because, as we all know when a turkey communicates it goes " gobble, gobble, gobble".
Personally, I'm glad the turkey wasn't chosen as the national bird since they aren't as pretty as a bald eagle; their heads look funny with it’s carnuncles and waddles ( those bright red things that don't look attached to its head very well) and the fact that their feet change color from red to grey to silver as they get older. In addition, male turkeys are always puffing themselves up, spreading their wings out and strutting around in circles trying to impress the female turkeys.
It seems to me that when somebody has to go to all that trouble to get noticed; there probably isn't very much worth noticing about them.
Watch out that you don't go around bragging about yourself; other people won't think much of you for doing that.
Keep your chin up!
