Assignment #20 Your State Bird

State Assignment  #20 Your State  Bird:

Each state has adopted one bird that represents their state. The selection of state birds began in 1927, when the legislatures for Alabama, Florida, Maine, Missouri, Oregon, Texas and Wyoming selected their state birds. The last state to choose its bird was New York in 1970, although the Eastern Bluebird had beaten the American Robin in a statewide survey 42 years previously. People in states such as Florida, Minnesota, and Alaska will sometimes jokingly declare the mosquito to be the unofficial "state bird". Find out what your state’s bird is and then find out the following information:

1. Name of state bird:


2. Bird’s habitat:


3. Colors and markings of this bird:


4. Food of choice for this bird:


5. Enemies this bird may have:


6. Protective behaviors:


7. Size:


8. Type of nest:


9. Egg size and shape, as well as incubation time:


10. Migration habits:


11. Beak shape and function:


12. Feet type:


13. Adaptations to environment:


14. Songs and calls:


15. Other interesting behaviors:


16. Endangered or not:


17. How it became the state bird:

One last thing, with all these assignments you have done you may like to paste your copy into word or something and than print it. That way you can have a whole book full of state assignments. You can even start adding pictures too if you like. I thought it was a pretty cool idea and I ( Elizabeth) have decided to do that too. Have fun exploring!
