Mirjam . . 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! Hugs, Noreen

. Mirjam, How wonderful for Israel then, to finally HAVE a National Bird, and yes, she IS elegant, I looked her up! Congratulations! Much love, Noreen
(who just had another funny thought regarding the USA's eagle, but it's a long drawn-out story....!)
again, huge congrats from me to you and all of Israel!
Was it George Washington or Thomas Jefferson that wanted the wild turkey *chuckle* for the national bird? I forget.

I THOUGHT it was Ben Franklin... who... we must concur, had quite the warped sense of humor, esp. regarding birds of the HUMAN venue, ie, WOMEN! LOL, Noreen

nodding in agreement! I thought it was Ben Franklin, TOO! (and we must concur, the man DID have quite the warped sense of humor, especially regarding 'birds' of the 'human' gender, IE: women!) LOL Noreen
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!
