Has Israel not had a National bird until now? *Or do you elect a new national bird every
few years?
I am giggling to myself, thinking of the Polish national bird, which IS an Eagle, but
LOOKS like a CHICKEN, grin!

Thanks Georgia and Noreen!

I'm not very good at remembering Presidents and history. *lol*

I believe that it was said that he thought the wild turkey was a more
nobler creature than the bald eagle. I do agree that he had a warped
sense of humour!

Here the Turkey is called Tarnegol Hodi= Indian [as from India]
Hen ,
In Dutch he is called kalkoen which really is made of Kalkata +Haan
The Hen from Kalkata ......
we used to grow them
