Now, in Georgia, somebody wants to change the State Bird. Right now, the Brown Thrasher is the state bird. I learned that in Georgia History class back in the 8th grade. But, quite honestly, I don't know if I've ever seen one.
There's a fellow in Augusta who wants to change the state bird ... to the chicken.
Now, sure, chickens account for $15-billion a year to the state's economy. But, really, is the chicken the best representation for the state? Having grown up in Georgia, I have some ideas.

There may be better suggestions for the state bird of Georgia. Perhaps for other states, too.
I think Louisiana should change our State bird from the Eastern Brown Pelican (I've actually seen a bunch of them) to the Jailbird. (I've seen a whole LOT more of them)
