Connecticut was one of the 13 colonies during the American Revolution. After America won, and the Constitution was written, the colonies were allowed to become states under the condition that they ratified the Constitution. The benefits of being a state were having representatives in the Senate and the House of Representatives, so that when decisions were being made for the whole nation, people from their state would have some say.
The American Robin was adopted as the official Connecticut State Bird by the General Assembly in 1943. The white oak (Quercus alba) was adopted as the official Connecticut State Tree on April 16, 1947.
Greenwich, Connecticut has the highest concentration of horses in the state.
On April 17, 2006, a bill was presented to the Governor which reinstated the reef triggerfish (humuhumunukunukuapuaʻa) as the state fish of Hawaiʻi
It became the official state wild animal in 1971.
Because the Michigan Audobon Society lobbied for it in 1931. The bird is very common in Michigan, and well known. It was passed as a House Resolution, not an actual law. Three years later, it was discovered that the Kirtland's Warbler is unique to Michigan. It summers in Northern Michigan, and winters in the Bahamas. Sounds like a smart bird to me. There is a push from the Michigan Audobon Society now to make the Kirtland Warbler the official state bird of Michigan.
