RE: Vlog #8 - Waterfalls of Australia: Adventures in FNQ
Seeing those Turkey's made me think....did you know it was almost the national bird of the U.S.? Ben Franklin believed it was "more respectable" than the eagle which thought was "of bad moral character." Haha. Always found that interesting.
For a man that played such an integral role in the development of the United States and was also a brilliant inventor I have always found this fact to be hilarious! It's hard to imagine thanksgiving as it currently stands if the national bird had become the turkey. Would we then be having eagles for this celebration? Food for thought I suppose haha :)
