Input on this interesting choice by WikiAnswerer Zanbabe: The choice of State bird for Utah isn't weird if you know the state history. Salt Lake was settled by Mormons, and early in their settlement they had a cricket invasion. :) The crickets were eating all the crops, and they thought that they were going to starve. They prayed for help. The seagulls came... ate all the crickets, and some of the crops were saved. They have a statue of seagulls (The Seagull Monument) in downtown Salt Lake, and it is still a popular story told to Mormon kids and to Utah tourists. Seagulls hang out around the Great Salt Lake, and you can see them flying around in Utah frequently. So, not too strange. :)
The Utah state bird is the Seagull - but they are over 1,000 miles away from the ocean! The story behind this comes from the pioneer times. The Mormon Pioneers had planted a large number of crops, and an infestation of crickets had come and were destroying the crops. After much prayer, thousands of seagulls came out of nowhere and ate the crickets - the crops were saved! The Seagulls stuck around, and they are the state bird as a reminder of that story.
