Well… If this isn’t a TIL, I don’t know what is 🙃
TIL that the first country to officially declare a national bird was India, with the Indian peacock in 1963: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_symbols_of_India
I’ve seen more bald eagles of late and I’m in Canada. Are they fleeing for some reason?
At least the Canada geese are going the other way. Those things are the devil! Chasing after me on my bike hissing…
Probably, Americans love to hunt them into extinction.
No turkey?
The funny thing is that people now think Franklin was joking because they think he was talking about the big, fat, dumb animal on farms most people think of as turkeys and not these dinosaurs I see around here:
Note the great big spike on the back of the legs near grass level. They will rip your fucking belly open if you get between them and their mate.
Oh, and they can fly. They can’t fly far, but they can fly.
Yeah wild turkeys don’t fuck around. They will ruin your week if they feel like it

Finally some real change.

So… Will you guys start using their real call instead of the Red Hawk’s?
Nah im just gonna use the hawk tua call
Wouldn’t 250 years be in 2026?
Missed chance to swap to the much more badass golden eagle. Or be honest about the state of American democracy and choose the Dodo…
and soon it will die of bird flu
Fucking who cares???
Dumb twats who watch Fox News all day
“Thanks Joe, now I am officially as free as a Bald Eagle, I’m ready to become president next month”
Glorified seagull.

There are a few living near here, I’ll let them know. I’m sure they’ll be thrilled.
