Cardinals are nuisances. They attack windows, in an attempt to attack their reflection. Not only are they a nuisance, they are dumb. It is also unoriginal. The cardinal is the state bird for seven different states! How lame is that?

It is high time that the Commonwealth of Virginia embraces the most recognizable bird in the state as its official state bird. The Hokie Bird. The Hokie Bird is well recognized, an icon, original, and loved and adored by all Virginians whose opinions matter.  Make the move.
