No New State Bird!

24 Mar 2026 11:56 AM | Anonymous

A proposal to make the American flamingo the new state bird died in the Legislature due to lack of support in the Senate.


Rep. Jim Mooney said he wanted to make the change to highlight Florida's wildlife diversity and improve conservation efforts.


The proposal would have replaced the mockingbird with the American flamingo as Florida’s state bird. It would also have made the Florida scrub-jay the state’s songbird.


The northern mockingbird remains Florida's official state bird, a designation in place since 1927 and shared with four other states: Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas.
