Answer:

Benjamin Franklin

Step-by-step explanation:

Although is a myth, it's believed that Benjamin Franklin proposed the turkey as America's bird because he expressed that turkeys were more respectable than eagles when he wrote a letter to his daughter, he also mentioned that turkeys were bird of courage. And even if those declarations were real the turkey was not actually nominated by Franklin.
