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:

perhaps it was meant as a way to pay honor to the species rather than forgotten completely?
nahhh, you’re probably right. Obama was a malicious sadistic cock sucker of a president that actually took great pleasure in hunting endangered species.

I wasn’t suggesting he did this out of malice I was suggesting he did this with zero regard for how it might be viewed by American natives
Edit: did not see the /s but my point stands.
