佛罗里达州立法者关于制作火烈鸟州级鸟的预先法案, Florida lawmakers advance bill to make flamingo state bird, citing its comeback and symbolic value.

佛罗里达州立法者正在推动一项法案, 让火烈鸟成为州立鸟类, Florida lawmakers are advancing a bill to make the flamingo the state bird, marking its strongest progress yet after clearing multiple committees. 支持者认为火烈鸟更能代表佛罗里达的环境恢复和文化特性, 特别是在人口因养护努力而回升后, Supporters say the flamingo better represents Florida’s environmental recovery and cultural identity, especially after populations rebounded in the Everglades and Indian River Lagoon due to conservation efforts. 由于狩猎和生境损失,火烈鸟在1930年代因打猎和失去栖息地而几乎绝种,在1930年代通过旅游营销,火烈鸟越来越受欢迎。 Once nearly extinct in the state due to hunting and habitat loss, flamingos gained popularity in the 1930s through tourism marketing. 虽然北方嘲鸫近一个世纪以来一直是官方州鸟，但支持者认为火烈鸟鲜艳的形象和象征性的归来符合佛罗里达的自然精神。 While the northern mockingbird has been the official state bird for nearly a century, advocates argue the flamingo’s vibrant image and symbolic return align with Florida’s natural spirit. 该法案现在由国家事务委员会负责,预计2026年立法会议将采取最后行动。 The bill now heads to the State Affairs Committee, with final action expected in the 2026 legislative session.
