Lawmakers are reviving a debate about whether the flamingo should replace the mockingbird as the state bird. They also want to make the Florida scrub jay the state songbird.

After Peaches' tracker failed in 2023, he was found raising a family on the Yucatan Peninsula. This could be evidence that the birds migrate between Florida and Mexico.

Florida lawmakers could again consider replacing the mockingbird with the flamingo as the state bird. The scrub jay would also get a designation.
