Question: What is the state bird of Texas?
Answer: The Northern Mockingbird
The Northern Mockingbird was adopted as the Texas state bird in 1927. The Texas State legislature proclaimed the mockingbird “the most appropriate species for the state bird of Texas, as it is found in all parts of the state, in winter and in summer, in the city and in the country, on the prairie and in the woods and hills, and is a singer of distinctive type, a fighter for the protection of his home, falling, if need be, in its defense, like any true Texan.”
