To be honest I thought the Ben Franklin thing was common knowledge too. But then I know a lot of Brant’s “facts” so maybe I’m not the best person to opine on this.
I know that the reason Ben Franklin liked the turkey was because wild turkeys are supposed to very clever. It's apparently not easy to catch a wild turkey.
Franklin believed the eagle was “lazy” because he thought the Bald Eagle never fished for itself but rather was more intent on taking the captured fish or other food from other birds, even from their nests. Franklin of course never was a naturalist, someone out in the actual wilds, to have studied or seen the birds in action. If you’ve watched any nature clips, there are plenty of eagles fishing for themselves.

I don’t know, I saw a bottle at the store the other day and it looked ripe for the picking. 🤭
Took Me a second to get that one. Not your fault. The hamster in the wheel of my brain fell out again.
