NEW NATIONAL SYMBOL With growing protests around the country about the American bald eagle being the nation's national symbol, the National Audubon Society has announced starting on July 4th, 2022, the new emblem for the United States of America will be the black billed magpie, aka, the American magpie (Pica hudsonia) The bald eagle is just offensive people are saying and just not that smart. Magpies have an extraordinarily high IQ and equally resourceful as well. Due to the magpies' shrewd nature, they are also known to symbolize deceit, opportunism, and illusion. What better bird to represent the ideals of our great nation. !!!!
