I hate threads that make you click a link to know what's the topic of discussion. You'd think the thread originator could come up with a sentence to explain what he/she wants to talk about.
There's a proposal to choose a national bird for Canada. As the article says:The Top 10 picks collected to date on the [Canadian Raptor] conservancy's website include:
And the article lists lots more birds that people have suggested:
- Canada goose
- loon
- raven
- whiskey jack
- great blue heron
- snowy owl
- short-billed crow
- snow goose
- tundra swan
- red-tailed hawk,
- blue jay
- mallard duck
- abundant grouse
- puffins
- ptarmigans
- common pigeon
- seagull
- turkey vulture
I think the Canadian dollar coin has already made a good case for the loon. People really like it.
