Answer to 5) is a) turkey. Benjamin Franklin commented on the choice of the Bald Eagle as the American symbol in a letter to his daughter: "I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird and withal a true, original native of America."
