State Bird Standoff

July 11th, 2008 in Funny, State Birds – 6 comments

The California Quail is being challenged for its position as State Bird of California by the Parrot for State Bird campaign. It is actually just a clever advertising campaign from a company that sells hands-free car kits, but the website is quite funny. Which bird would you prefer as your State Bird? A quail or a parrot?

Ah, come on! The quail is so underlooked, no offence to parrot. I think quail should win. I think parrots get so much more attention, the quail needs some too!

When you move your mouse over the cute picture above, it says "California Quail vs. African Grey Parrot." Isn't that a Red-lored Amazon?

btw - go Quail! Parrots are for Pirates. oh well...so long as no one messes with the TX state bird :-)
