This bill establishes new designations for Florida's official state bird and state songbird. It creates a new section in the Florida Statutes, specifically section 15.0352, which designates the American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) as the official state bird and the Florida scrub-jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) as the official state songbird. These new designations will replace the previous designation of the mockingbird as the official state bird, which was established in 1927.

The bill outlines that the new designations will take effect on July 1, 2026. By enacting this legislation, Florida aims to celebrate and recognize the unique avian species that are significant to the state's identity and natural heritage.
