For nearly a century, the mockingbird has reigned supreme as the state bird of Florida, surviving multiple coup attempts by the Florida Legislature. Once again, a lawmaker this year wants to dethrone the bird known for its lilting sounds.

After several failed attempts over the years to change Florida's state bird, a legislator is taking another crack at unseating the mockingbird.

Florida lawmakers are considering replacing the mockingbird as the state bird with the flamingo, reigniting a debate about the symbol that best represents the Sunshine State.
