"9. Florida. Official state bird: northern mockingbird
I am finishing this post the next day because I had to go buy a new computer after I threw my last one out the window when I read that Florida’s state bird was the northern mockingbird. I cannot think of a more pathetic choice for one of the most bird-rich states in the nation. What’s their state beverage, a half-glass of warm tap water?
What it should be: American flamingo"

We have some amazing birds (many of which show up in my back yard!) and I'd love to see one of them as our state bird. My pick would be a sand hill crane-- but we have brown pellicans, great blue heron... any of those or the flamingo would be great. Hell, even Donald Duck would be a better state bird than a mockingbird.
