The tradition of offering turkeys on thanksgiving day to the President of the country was started in 1947 by the founder of the national Federation of turkeys, Charles Wampler. He was the first person to present a Turkey to President of the United States Harry Truman. However, then the tradition of pardoning was not born immediately. It is known that some of the turkeys were then a dish on the presidential table. The first President to officially pardon a bird was Ronald Reagan, and this procedure became mandatory only under George H. W. Bush in 1989.
