Why is it a good place to live at Utah?

I'm a senior in high school and I have to say the schools are really safe. You don't hear much about drugs, people aren't showing porn to one another. And where I go for high school, as a student body we try to focus on the positives, big on anti-bullying, and big on making friends. Another good thing is that we have the high uinta's. Miles and miles of untouched land, loads of history and legends, rich with minerals, and stories of Nephite gold. Then you have southern Utah which has a totally different climate than northern Utah which gives you a whole bunch of variety when it comes to what weather you want to live with.

Utahs state bird?

California GullThe official state bird of Utah is the California Gull, adopted in 1955.

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. :)
