OKEMOS, MI (WKZO AM/FM) An avian anniversary takes place in Michigan Thursday. April 8 is the day the state officially named its state bird in 1931.
90 years ago, the Michigan legislature approved the American robin as the state bird. Sponsors at the time called the robin âthe best-known and best-loved of all the birds in the state of Michigan”.
In 1929, the Michigan Audubon Society held a contest to pick a state bird and it went, as we say today, viral. Over 190,000 residents across the state got involved and cast their votes. The robin and chickadee received the highest number of votes, but the robin took nearly a quarter of all the responses and won. Legislators adopted the robin as the official state bird in 1931, and it became official on April 8 that year.

We have probably learned these from family and friends, through common public use, and possibly from the world of entertainment. So this week’s theme focuses on songs whose titles illustrate
common expressions.
