There’s a man in Georgia who is on a campaign to rename the Georgia state bird from the Brown Thrasher to the chicken.
Yeah, you read that right. I had to go back and re-read the headline the first time I saw it too. Chris Cunningham, the impetus behind the movement says he has nothing against the Brown Thrasher (a beautiful migratory bird), but he believes the chicken has done more for the peach state than the Thrasher.
Well, I have to agree with him there. The chicken has contributed to obesity, heart disease, bird flu, high cholesterol.... Need I go on? That's far more than the Thrasher can claim.
So I say go ahead, Georgia – let’s rename the state bird The Chicken, because we’re just dumb enough to do it.
All Hail, the Noble Chicken...”Bukbukbukbbbukock!”
Isn't this how we should treat all our state birds?

You may laugh, but there's historical precedent for it. I read once that Benjamin Franklin had proposed (true story) that the symbol for the United States should be the turkey, not the eagle, because the turkey was such a useful bird. Obviously he was outvoted and a good thing too, in retrospect.
@Debra I'm glad Ben didn't get his way. Can you imagine the US going to war with a turkey as its symbol of power? Hotmess!
Oh that picture is gross of that bird! I don't think I ever saw a featherless chicken! And Boy have I missed your post this week! And the laughs!
Good to know he's setting such a strong agenda!
Wow! For once crazy isn't coming from South Carolina.
Today I hold my head up high!
@Bob Oh, yes. There's something to be said for being in the DEEEEEEEEEEP South. Thank goodness, I live in Atlanta. It's a Blue Fort in the midst of a Red mud state.
This is great!! Made me laugh!! Come by my spot for an award!!
KaLynn sent me over.
My sister-in-law lives near Atlanta, so she might be familiar with this story. Gotta love people with logical minds.
I think GA might find herself in a fight with just about every other Southern state if it sought to do that.
Isn't like the national bird of the Confederacy, the (Fried) Chicken already?
LOL at this, Corey!

Corey, I really do fret for your life and sanity sometimes9for that matter I also fret for Bob's). I'm glad you are in a blue fort, but do you ever feel you might get cross contamination? I guess we are lucky stupid is not an easily communicable affliction.
