2 additional choices -

the loon (in harmony w/ their neighbors to the N.)
the dodo (reflecting their current mental state)

Flowers
Trees
Animals
Rocks
Fish
Mottos
Emblems

And all other stupid time wasting stunts and get back to work.

Well, if the state is run by Democrat lawyers, then the choice is obvious:

The Turkey Vulture.

Typical Michigan. Even the state bird is losing his job.

Hmmm, actually, I kinda like the idea of the Kirtland’s Warbler replacing the Robin.

Not the most important thread of the day, but thought I'd ping a fellow Michigander, seeing how our state is getting slammed here!

The Michigan bill was introduced last month that would recognize three birds for holding different titles in the state.

This seems to be a good solution. The co-equal and separate state birds with checks-and-balances over each other. The birds should be able to govern effectively with appropriate oversite from the other branches (pun intended...)

They're telling the robin to fly south.

The spelling in this article suggest another priority. "I don't no and the Warbler is find" are not what one would expect from a news outlet. Or is it?
