Is your state bird a stupid state bird?

[AGDee]

I don't like his suggestion for Michigan (One of the many American Robin states) because it should be a bird that people who live in the state see frequently, IMO. He wants some rare bird that I've never heard of after living here my whole life and which is almost extinct. What happens when your state bird disappears off the planet? Don't you need a new bird then?

Hawaii's state bird should be the chicken! Those things are everywhere...

His cousin was a state senator at the time or that bill would've been dead in the water.

How about an official state sandwich, candy, and candy bar...?

Marshmallow Fluff was invented in Somerville, Massachusetts, and a bill pending in the State House would make the Fluffernutter, a Marshmallow Fluff-peanut butter combo, the official Massachusetts state sandwich. The Fluffernutter bill will be heard Thursday by the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory Oversight. Joining the Fluffernutter petition in the Massachusetts legislature, Necco wafers seek the official state candy designation and Charleston Chews the state candy bar status.

ETA: The end of the article names some states that have a state pie, cookie, pastry, etc.
