Florida's State bird is the Mockingbird. The State flower is the Orange Blossom.

Some would like the state bird to be the Florida Scrub Jay because it is in danger of dying off due to loss of habitat and the Mockingbird is also the state bird of other nearby states.

What is the state flower and or bird where you live?

I have no idea what our state flower is...guess I will have to look that one up.

What happened to my comment about the cardinal being the state bird of Illinois too? It looks like it disappeared. Weird.

my face is red, but I don't know what they are for Georgia.

Thank you, Susan. I'm not sure, but I think it may be the mockingbird and peach blossom. Perhaps someone else from GA knows. Thanks for coming by
