We the people should change the national bird of the United States of America to fried chicken.
Bald eagles are nice birds and all, but few people will ever even see a bald eagle and even fewer people know anything about the habits and inclinations of bald eagles. In contrast, fried chicken is beloved around the world. Fried chicken is delicious. Everybody knows about fried chicken and the overwhelming majority of people like it.
Along with blues, jazz, and rock & roll, fried chicken is one of the United States of America's precious gifts to the universe. We should recognize this by making fried chicken the national bird.
