National Bird
A bird chosen by a country to represent its people and culture.
What is it?
A national bird is an official symbol of a country. The peacock is the national bird of India. Other examples include the bald eagle for the United States and the kiwi for New Zealand. National birds are often chosen because they are unique, beautiful, or important to the country's history.
