The status of the Bald Eagle has improved considerably. In 1995 it was removed from the endangered species list and reclassified into the less dire catagory of "threatened" in most areas. 
And as for turkeys, the bird was named after the country, not the other way around. |
Ironic that these two comments coincided. Before making the bald eagle our national symbol, Ben Franklin was on a campaign to make the wild turkey our national bird. No lie. Look it up!
