Is it OK if I modify the state birds table to include links to articles that document the stories behind each bird's adoption? If so, how do I do that? How can I access the table's HTML so I can change it?
Thanks.
There is no reason to have List of U.S. state waterfowl separate from the List of U.S. state birds article. There is only one entry in that article, which is also found here. A merge seems to makes a lot os sense. -- 63.224.135.113 ( talk) 04:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
The State Bird of Alabama is a yellowthrasher, not the Northern Flicker. The Name on the Wikipedia Page currently says yellowthrasher but it is showing a picture of a Northern Flicker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.136.32.235 ( talk) 13:29, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
I've noticed the links marked 'SHG Resources' redirect to U101.com a College Search site. Also Oklahoma isn't included in the first section as one of the states with State Game Birds, even though it is listed as having one in the list itself. Also Missouri adopted a State Game Bird in 2007, as per here and here. The last one there being the House Bill that officially introduced it. 219.88.68.195 ( talk) 20:33, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

There is no reason to separate states and territories/DC into two separate tables — they are all sub-national regions of the U.S. Other articles that list states and territories, such as List of U.S. states and territories by area and Speed limits in the United States, include them all in the same table.
Flags are appropriate for this article because it is a list relating to states. See for example List of states and territories of the United States by population, List of U.S. states and territories by area, and Speed limits in the United States (articles that use flags). This is a list of U.S. states (by their state bird), so flags should be included.
Also, I propose moving the article to "List of U.S. state and territory birds", since territory birds are included in the article. LumaP15 ( talk) 03:35, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Pennsylvania is unclear on the topic:
My thought is that the ambiguity should not be commented on without reliable sources. BiologicalMe ( talk) 18:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
The other Wikipedia articles mentioning the state bird— Maine, List of birds of Maine, and List of Maine state symbols—all say that it's the black-capped chickadee Poecile atricapillus (or Parus atricapillus), as does Maine.gov. However, it is true that the original legislature regarding the state bird didn't specify the particular chickadee because there was an act to rectify this, though it was not successful. Therefore, the three listed articles should probably be fixed. — Ayuskoto ( talk) 22:54, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
I am not a Wikipedia editor, but I noticed a discrepancy on the page and wanted to point it out. In the introduction of the page, there are several states listed that were the first to name state birds in 1927. However, later on the page, it is listed that Kentucky chose its state bird in 1926. One of these statements is wrong and should be corrected. I followed the links referenced in the article and they are consistent with my statements. Additionally, this link lists Kentucky as the first state to adopt a state bird in 1926. -- Gobrien2017 ( talk) 17:43, 3 August 2021 (UTC)Gobrien2017
Oregon's state bird is now the state songbird, and in 2017 the Osprey was adopted as the state raptor. I've changed the state list linked above if you need something to cite. Valfontis ( talk) 23:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
