The story about Benjamin Franklin wanting the National Bird to be a turkey is a myth. It began due to a letter Franklin wrote to his daughter criticizing the original eagle design for the Great Seal, saying that it looked more like a turkey. In the letter, Franklin wrote that the “Bald Eagle…is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly…[he] is too lazy to fish for himself.”
About the turkey, Franklin wrote that in comparison to the bald eagle, the turkey is “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.” [Franklin Institute]

If they insist you’re a turkey, then they won’t think you’re a robot.

It’s been a while since I’ve referred to anyone as a turkey. Sort of a 70s thing.
