What is the story of the bird and serpent on the Mexican flag?
Answer: The seal in the midddle of the flag of Mexico is the nation's coat of arms. The bird is the golden eagle (Spanish: águila real literally, "royal eagle"). In 1960, the Mexican Rafael Martín del Campo (an ornithologist) identified the eagle in the pre-Hispanic codex as the northern caracara a species common in Mexico. Even so, the golden eagle is still considered the Mexican eagle for official purposes, and for the same reason is regarded as the official bird of Mexico. When the snake was introduced it was originally an aquatic serpent, but since 1917, the serpent has been portrayed as a rattlesnake. The design and colour of the snake on the modern coat of arms do not correspond with those of any species of snake. The symbolism of the eagle devouring the snake is the triumph of good over evil. The nopal which the eagle stands bears some of its fruits and the pedestal on which the nopal grows is immersed in an Aztec symbol meaning water, a precious commodity in the arid regions of Mexico.

What are facts about France's flag?
the French flag is the official French pavilion since 1794. It was drawn by Jacques Louis David, famous French painter, but it has its origins in July 1789. Shortly after the fall of the Bastille, the king visited the Paris town hall and was handed a blue and red cocard - the long-time colours of the town - which he put on his hat next to the white cocard (French royalty emblem at the time), as a gesture towards the people of Paris. The blue and red colours are said to be representing the patron saints of the town (Saint Denis, Saint Martin) while the white indicated the dedication of the kingdom to the Virgin Mary. Since the reign Henri IV, the red and blue were included in the royal emblems, standing for the Kingdom of "Navarre".
The popular "Garde Nationale", heir of the "Garde française" (regiment meant to protect the King) already had the three colours blue, white and red on their uniforms. Members of the Garde Nationale took part - and even led - the fall of the Bastille.
It is sometimes said that LAFAYETTE played a role in the adoption of the three colours by the King Louis XVI. The white flag replaced the three-colour flag in 1814-1815, and from 1815 to 1830, during the two first periods when the monarchy was reinstated.
