URGING - OFFICIAL STATE BIRD OF FLORIDA

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · resolution

Miami-Dade County adopted a resolution urging the Florida Legislature to designate the American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) as the official Florida State Bird. The resolution highlights the flamingo's iconic association with Florida, its historical presence, reintroduction efforts, and current observation locations. It notes that the northern mockingbird was designated the state bird in 1927 and that this resolution supports efforts to change this designation. The County's state lobbyists are directed to advocate for this legislation.
