I believe the other option, proposed by Ben Franklin, was a turkey..

Boy, I seem to be just brimming with friendly reminders this week! :-) The
1828 Webster's link, and others, are on the Bookmarks page of the backup to
this list, MtMan@yahoogroups.com. To join, just go to
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/MtMan/join and follow the easy instructions.
Anyone can add a bookmark, it's just that I've been the only one interested
enough to do so thus far.
Your friendly reminder,
Angela Gottfred

Rick Petzold asked,
<Does anyone know when the United States adopted the
Bald Eagle for it's National Symbol? Also, why and when?>
Rick, I believe that some readings about the post-Revolution will answer
all your questions. Ben Franklin was a big part of that issue.
There were those who wanted the wild turkey as our national (bird)
symbol. I don't know if Ben was pro or anti-turkey. But those involved ended
up with the bald eagle.
