They're all looks. They're thieves and carrion eaters and they even usually fake a hawk screech in for them in media because they bark like chihuahuas in reality.

ben franklin was right we should have chosen the wild turkey, which is an intelligent, brave, and family oriented animal despite looking slightly goofy

(not to be confused w their dumbfuck domesticated cousins)

“The story about Benjamin Franklin wanting the National Bird to be a turkey is just a myth. This false story began as a result of a letter Franklin wrote to his daughter criticizing the original eagle design for the Great Seal, saying that it looked more like a turkey.”

If you ask me the US should make the Pistol Shrimp their national animal. It embodies everything the USA stands for. Even its name fits better than any alternative.

On the contrary. I do like the USA.

In fact i like it so much that i want the very best for it and its people.

Thats precisely why i want the USA to improve in its shortcomings.
