- Let's take a tour through the United States state birds and see if we learn anything interesting! Please subscribe to continue learning what makes life AWESOME: BioBush.tv/sub...
Every state in the United States has an official bird. Some were chosen by legislatures, some were chosen by contests of schoolchildren. But all of them were chosen between the 1920's and 1960's. Let's see which birds were chosen!

Thanks for watching! You're awesome!
this may be the most charming, wholesome thing I've watched on yt
Thank you for the kind words, Jeff! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for watching!
You breezed over Oklahoma, but the scissor-tailed flycatcher is an S tier bird. When in flight they have the beautiful feathers that trail behind them that do look like scissors. Also, the bird is on our official state license plate.
I just got the Wingspan board game, so now I see a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher much more often. It is a very nice bird. I like the way they did it on the license plate too. Good job Oklahoma! Also good that they chose a unique bird. Thanks for watching, Jawn!
This was really interesting Steve, I had no idea there was quite so much overlap between the state birds of many states! I think we should mandate states to each choose a unique species, but somehow I don’t think that will happen!
- Harrison and Evan
Hi Harrison and Evan! I agree that it should be mutually exclusive. There are SO many good birds to choose from, even from popular, colorful, culturally symbolic birds. There are a lot of birds out there. Making that rule now would reignite many state rivalries. In that band of cardinals there is already a debate about which one was first, because it was unofficial in some states while other states. We would have to create a new category of "State Birds for the 21st Century" and make it mutually exclusive to have any chance at a peaceful bird selection. Might be fun! Thanks for watching again this week!
Happy new year Awesome video , it would be awesome to see national birds from all countries of the world
Happy New Year Matthias! That video is planned later this month! I was working on it, then switched to this one because national histories are more complicated and I needed more research time. I would also like to do the state birds of India at some point because they are really beautiful and interesting birds. Thank you for watching again this week!
@@BioBush thank you !
Great sharing my friend.
I love all this information 😃.
Thank you for the kind words, Primitive Technology! There are so many interesting things to learn about birds. Thanks for watching!
The robin competes when rainy, with men picking up worms for fish bait.
Like I commented on Backyard Expeditions channel, let's hope the new year finds people appreciating your work and educational content.
Thank you, James! I appreciate your support! It already feels like so many people. The total number of views tripled and total number of subscribers tripled in the last year. 😮
I think of videos as planting trees, and some grow over time and some don't. But it's a privilege to dig up information and come up with creative ideas that help any number of people. I really appreciate motivated learners like you. Here's hoping we can find and connect more people like James!
I wonder why you didn’t post the “Every Bird Ranked” points count video as early as you usually post?
Thank you for noticing, Vernon! I set it for 10 PM instead of 10 AM (whoops). It's live RIGHT NOW!
My buddy's from the capital Austin and he often wears spurs.
He's the state bird of Texas. Yeah, he's a mockingbird
We all know someone like that. It rhymes, too. :) Thank you for watching, Revin!
@@BioBush My pleasure. Have you watched "50 Birds 50 States" on YT?
Really well made, your fun facts were interesting!
Thanks for the kind words, Miia! There are so many interesting things to learn about birds. Thanks for watching!
Happy new year Steve.
Here South Korea, in my town ... there are a lot of Pale trush and Japanese white eye all year long.
Wishing you and yours a safe
Hi C! Those are really pretty birds! It's interesting how what is common in one area is exotic and interesting in another area. We all have a lot to learn from each other. Thank you for sharing your bird experience, and have a safe and happy new year as well!
Hello Bio bush Are u a biologist?
I want to ask a question
At My village some (very few)blue throat barbet bird has five toes and long chameleon like tail(but not green in color) near the tail of this bird.And others parts of the body are similar to barbet bird.Why this bird has strange features sir?
I studied Marine Biology at the university level and work with animals professionally as a zookeeper.
I have never heard of a bird with five toes or a chameleon-like tail. I don't doubt what you saw, but I have no insight into what it might be. Is there a chance you could get a picture? Maybe you discovered a new type of bird and can get it named after yourself. :) Thanks for watching again this week, Immanuel!
Iam from India.At my village many people have seen this but its difficult to find because this kind of bird are few in no.
Hi, I really enjoyed your video here about each state bird of the US. I would love to get a poster of it, if you happened to produce those. Thanks.
That's so nice of you to say, Lonnie! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'll let you know if it becomes available. Thank you for watching!
Omg! So many northern cardinals!
Yes, it seems like Northern Cardinal, Northern Mockingbird, and Western Meadowlark are the three favorite birds in the country based on state birds. Every bird is remarkable in its own way. Thanks for watching!
Happy New Year Steve!
We still have a lot of gulls in Utah, I think the great salt lake has one of the larger populations of the california gull, though we also get a lot of ring-bills, which I was trying to figure out if the picture was truly the california gull because they are basically identical except in what shade of grey the wings are and a red bit on the California's beak
Happy New Year to you as well. That gull story was pretty interesting to read about, especially the monument of gulls eating crickets.
I should have commented on the distribution of bird orders, because basically everything is Passeriformes, with a smattering of other orders: Galliformes, a Piciformes, a Cuculiformes, and a couple others. We have upgraded our brains to do this.
Here's the original gull photo (flickr.com/photos/62798180@N03/8475304996) and by zooming in it has a slight red patch. This is why we need people out there doing digital birding!
Great video Steve.
My grandson, Oliver , saw a red Cardinal, which led to a discussion of the States birds. We live in Miami and I recently hear a Public Radio report that Florida is considering changing it’s state bird from the Mockingbird.
Have any states changed its state bird?
Thanks for your efforts.
Alan Weisberg and
Oliver Mark.
Hi Alan and Oliver! No state has ever changed its state bird. Florida would be the first. I like the idea of each state having a unique bird that represents their values and the species native to their range. Birds are such excellent symbols, and there are plenty to choose from. Thank you both for watching!
Band of Cardinals was the working title for the 1970 Jimi Hendrix live album...
It's a catchy name. Thanks for watching, Vees!
My 5 y.o. decided (unprompted) that he wanted to learn the state birds. He already knows pretty much all the states with duplicates and several with unique birds.
We've already watched twice through but I feel we will watch many more.
I'd definitely get a poster if you made one.
Hi Lola! That's so fun! Thank you for supporting your child's curiosity; he is lucky to have you. And I'm glad this video is helpful! Thank you for watching!
It’s crazy because there are a ton of cardinals in south Texas right now. I’ve been seeing dozens literally every single day.
Hi Jason! That sounds like a fun experience! The Band of Cardinals must be on tour. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Amazing!
Hi Shimon! There is so much out there to learn about birds. Thanks for watching!
As a native of South Dakota, I heard stories about the red-neck pheasant being chosen to attract hunters to the state as part of the tourism industry.
I have a really nice story about the scissor tailed flycatcher. My family is moving to Oklahoma soon and yesterday I discovered a quarter with Oklahoma's scissor tail on it. That day we finally bought a house there in Norman. I just looked it up and this bird is a symbol of good luck and fortune. Sidenote: Y'know for a state that has an entire fucking baseball team devoted to it Missouri sure picked an odd choice of bird
That's a nice story, Robero! I visited Norman once, and it was a really nice place. I hope you get to see Scissor-tailed Flycatchers around where you live. Thank you for watching!
Hello friends, you have made a new friend from Indonesia .. In tropical Indonesia, birds are very diverse. Come on
Thank you, Kicau! I appreciate you watching!
My fav looking eastern bird is gold finch
Thanks!!!
Nice 🙏
Thank you, Irama! There are so many interesting things to learn. Thank you for watching!
They dig, pull them out of the dirt. Fun to watch
I WOULD LOVE TO BUY A MAP OF THIS
Hi Dan! You inspired me to revisit this project idea. I'm going to make a higher-resolution version of this suitable for printing. Thanks for watching!
In my opinion Florida's state bird should be the Floridian Scrub Jay :)
That's a great choice, Miia! I would like a country where every state has their own unique bird that is special to their state. And Floridian Scrub Jay is a perfect example!
Robins eat worms, if it rains they are visible
This disappointed me cuz I thought my state was the only one with the cardnal
Hi! But that makes you part of something larger. It's not just your state bird, it's also the most popular bird in your whole part of the country! That means your state chose well. Plus, wouldn't you rather have the Cardinal be the most common state bird, instead of the the Mockingbird? Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to learn!

I like how diverse this list is! You have birds from different continents, different bird orders, even living and extinct birds. This was fun to read. Thank you!
Thx
@@BioBush heres my full bird list
Or i might just do it later
Lets see
We're still taught that legend in Utah. I wonder if it's true or if they've just stayed around as lake Bonneville receded.
As a kid, it bothered me that our state bird was the CALIFORNIA gull
Oh, cool! I didn't know about lake Bonneville. Thanks for sharing that information.
It is the only state bird with another state name in it. Maybe someone will discover a subspecies that only lives in Utah and get the subspecies name utahii added on the end. (Note: I just looked up the species and it looks like someone already did that for Alberta: Larus californicus albertaensis)
Thanks for watching, C.W.!
@@BioBush can you make a meme of the Cardinal band?
That is an excellent idea. I can't do it right now, but that is so good as something to make for the future.
before I watch this I live in Pennsylvania and I know our state bird the ruff grous I learned that in 3rd grade now I am going into 5th yeah I knowed a bit after I forgot ed in ruffed
Utah's plague of locust, not really a grasshopper
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF THE SAME BIRDS FOR SO MANY STATES?
Hi Rav! That's a good question. There are 18 states that chose the same three birds, and there are lots of other duplicates as well. I think it would be nice for each state to choose a state bird which is unique to their culture. Florida is working on that - considering the Scrub Jay instead of being on Team Mockingbird. Thanks for watching!
Cardinal Gang 🤟

Thank you, American Alligator! I apologize to the people from Maryland for suggesting that they are from Massachusetts. Thank you for watching!
@@BioBush You're welcome and you're welcome. 👍🏻
indiana state bird is larry bird
Hahaha, that's awesome! Thanks Josh.
@Josh B 👌🏻
Red robins are in Virginia not Cardinals
Hi Marcus! I double-checked just to be sure, and on January 25, 1950 the Virginia state assembly voted for the Northern Cardinal as the official state bird. I couldn't dig up the primary records, but they're almost certainly out there. Robins are awesome though, and I wish Virginia did have a unique bird (American Robins are already the state bird of three other states). Thanks for watching!
Kentucky shoulda been chicken.
That is an excellent point, v i. Thanks for watching!
Hey hey in a game of football you want to know who Cleveland which is a part of Ohio which is a part of the Cardinal band destroyed I will beat Tennessee Texas and which two is there Tennessee is the cardboard band rival in Texas is the Cardinal band rival meaning that Cleveland destroyed both for them hahaha the Cleveland browns which is a part of the Colorado band is going to show y'all today who's the real Cardinals who's the real best band The Cardinals band
Hi Foxy! I really like how you are running with the rivalry between different state bird groups. I hope this has added a new layer of fun to comparing different states. Thank you for watching!
