What is state bird?

State bird refers to the officially designated bird species that represents a particular state or region within a country. Each state can have its unique state bird chosen through legislation or public voting processes. State birds play a ceremonial role and serve as symbols of pride, reflecting the state's natural history, cultural heritage, or significant avian species found within its territory. State birds are widely recognized emblems that often appear on state flags, seals, license plates, or other official state symbols. These designated birds can have ecological importance, ecological impact on the environment, or hold historical or cultural significance to the people of the state. Examples of well-known state birds include the Bald Eagle in the United States, the California Quail in California, the Northern Mockingbird in Tennessee, and the Cardinal in several midwestern and southern states. State birds serve as ambassadors for conservation efforts, promoting awareness about wildlife preservation and protection of avian habitats within their respective areas.
