View Voting Results:SmartestandFunniest Confabulat (1) Funniest 6 hours ago Flamingos aren't even particularly native to Florida, they are mostly an invasive species or brought from somewhere else. You can live your whole life in Florida and never ever see one in the wild. I'd go with the spoon-billed ibis or a caracara if I'm looking for something that deserves that sort of accolade, like anyone cares anyway.

Ever since my buddy Manuel stopped showing up to our poker nights a couple of weeks ago, I've been paying more attention to political stuff, and it really pisses me off that the pink flamingo ornaments in my lawn aren't official. I put those farkers up 20 years ago. Come on.

Confabulat (0) Funniest cretinbob: You rarely see them in the wild because they were mostly wiped out. Mostly wiped out in Florida, sure, but flamingos are not an endangered species. And there are plenty to be found in Florida, if you go to Busch Gardens or any other zoo. Internet Nomad (4) Funniest Excuse me subby the mockingbird! Or also the Florida scrubjay which was also only found in Florida which makes sense as a state bird.

As the article points out a lot of Floridians have said this like half a dozen times trying to get this to happen prior. Although beyond the fact this is just a symbol the list of "state official xThing" for most states is cartoonishly long. Like I think there is an official state pie for Florida? Hint it's Key lime. Like stuff like that....omgawd who cares. As I said above can our leaders worry about that stupid stuff after we fix our big real problems?

There actually are a lot of bald eagle nests in Florida. It's cool to see as they are so friggin huge! And I sadly see you're inside the brain of Governor DumbSantis. Confabulat (0) Funniest less than a minute ago winedrinkingman: I am placing a bet that this gets hijacked and they end up making the state bird the Bald Eagle, because of Merica. Back when I was a kid in the 70s, Florida and Alaska were the only two states you could find a bald eagle. It's actually not a bad choice. But I also think pelicans are cooler.
