Six states have the Western Meadowlark that sings a rich and low warble as their state bird. These states used Western Meadowlark as their state bird because it is the songbird of open countries which cover almost two-thirds of the continent. These six states are as follows:
Kansas which designated it to be their official state of bird in 1937, Montana which designated their state bird in 1931, North Dakota designated the bird in 1947 because they had added the bird to their conversation priority list, Oregon which designated the bird in 1927 because just like in Montana, it was known for its distinctive and beautiful song, Nebraska in 1929 due to its joyous song and because it was abundant in the area and Wyoming in 1927.
