Last updated on June 25th, 2023

Most people are familiar with the different US states, their capitals, and the abbreviation used. But what is not common knowledge is that all these 50 states have birds as a state symbol. These state symbols are selected after dedicated search efforts by students, organizations, and citizens.

There is a procedure that states have to undergo before selecting a symbol that they will use to represent them. They have to identify the symbol, request a bill, and go through the standard legislative procedures before it is passed.

If the symbol selected is passed, then the state will use the symbol to represent them. Birds are beautiful, strong, and one of the creatures loved by almost every person. So, it is no wonder that states settled on using different birds as their symbol. However, some states share the same symbol.

This page contains the list of the state birds of the 50 states of the US.
