Despite, only this year they will finally make the bald eagle the national bird. Which, I also learned that they are not official symbols until a President signs a document for them to be. It is just a recognized symbol but not official. (Just my opinion but why do they really need a bill for this? What changes would making anything like this official really do?)
Here is a list of other US symbols (article includes links to other countries of the world national symbols, some official, some not made official) if you are interested:

Bald Eagle for national bird, but honorary mention for the red-tailed hawk, which is the sound people mistakenly associate it with
Probably because we were more focused on the things that mattered. Like his attacks on our immigrant communities, the war crimes he was committing abroad, and his propping up of private healthcare.

Peanut the Squirrel, a popular OnlyFans account and local NY resident domesticated squirrel, who was euthanized a week before the election to test it for rabbies was wall-to-wall headline news on election day.

Biden did an apology tour for native american boarding schools two weeks before election day
This, on the heels of a slew of Felony Mob indictments aimed at Gaza Protesters
The way presidents will flip the history book back 50 years and issue a polite “My bad” while they persecute a new generation of people and scrub out the associated civil rights movement in real time is nauseating.
