Talk:List of U.S. state birds

message: There is no reason to have List of U.S. state waterfowl separate from the List of U.S. state birds article. There is only one entry in that article, which is also found here. A merge seems to makes a lot os sense. -- 63.224.135.113 (talk) 04:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The State Bird of Alabama is a yellowthrasher, not the Northern Flicker. The Name on the Wikipedia Page currently says yellowthrasher but it is showing a picture of a Northern Flicker.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.136.32.235 (talk) 13:29, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I've noticed the links marked 'SHG Resources' redirect to U101.com a College Search site. Also Oklahoma isn't included in the first section as one of the states with State Game Birds, even though it is listed as having one in the list itself. Also Missouri adopted a State Game Bird in 2007, as per here and here. The last one there being the House Bill that officially introduced it.219.88.68.195 (talk) 20:33, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Have added Missouri and fixed the link for Oklahoma, adding the date of its adoption. Also noticed Pennsylvania has an official State Game Bird, but not an official State Bird (by itself). According to their legislation. That's one of the broken 'SHG Resources' links. Will fix with a better link that cites that relevant details.219.88.68.195 (talk) 20:56, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, have fixed Pennsyvania in the table, and adjusted the lede to reflect this. -Only the broken 'SHG Resources' links need fixing. -Oh, and this link would be a good resource for fixing those links, it cites relevant legislation and sources for each.219.88.68.195 (talk) 21:09, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Pennsylvania is unclear on the topic:
* The statute is tiled "state bird", but the text descibe it as "state game bird".
* The Pennsylvania Manual descibes it as "state bird" on page 1 and "state game bird" on page 4 of section 1.
* The state's website describes it as "state bird".
My thought is that the ambiguity should not be commented on without reliable sources. BiologicalMe (talk) 18:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: While the state's website claims that it is the "state bird" the source of this designation notes that the ruffed grouse is being selected and adopted as the "state game bird." According to this statute, Pennsylvania does not possess a state bird. Born of Iron (talk) 21:27, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pennsylvania state game bird or state bird? 

message: The other Wikipedia articles mentioning the state bird—Maine, List of birds of Maine, and List of Maine state symbols—all say that it's the black-capped chickadee Poecile atricapillus (or Parus atricapillus), as does Maine.gov. However, it is true that the original legislature regarding the state bird didn't specify the particular chickadee because there was an act to rectify this, though it was not successful. Therefore, the three listed articles should probably be fixed. —Ayuskoto (talk) 22:54, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Maine state bird

message: I am not a Wikipedia editor, but I noticed a discrepancy on the page and wanted to point it out. In the introduction of the page, there are several states listed that were the first to name state birds in 1927. However, later on the page, it is listed that Kentucky chose its state bird in 1926. One of these statements is wrong and should be corrected. I followed the links referenced in the article and they are consistent with my statements. Additionally, this link lists Kentucky as the first state to adopt a state bird in 1926. --Gobrien2017 (talk) 17:43, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

message: Oregon's state bird is now the state songbird, and in 2017 the Osprey was adopted as the state raptor. I've changed the state list linked above if you need something to cite. Valfontis (talk) 23:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
