What bird was suggested as the National Animal by Benjamin Franklin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most people believe that it was Benjamin Franklin who decided on the turkey instead of the bald eagle. But, to date, there is actually no proof that he said such a thing.

Franklin jokingly suggested it in a letter he wrote to his daughter, Sarah Bache, on January 26, 1784. The letter was written after Congress took six years to decide upon the eagle as the emblem of the United States. If you read the entire text, it's fairly clear that he is being facetious. The manuscript of the letter now resides in the Library of Congress.
