In a widely anticipated move, the Colorado state legislature's Committee on Natural Resources decided along a party line vote to replace the Lark Bunting as the official State Bird.
The new state bird will be the Eurasian collared-Dove. According to committee chair woman Lisa Green, The change was necessitated due to the dwindling population of Lark buntings (much like the declining number of native Coloradoans).
The aggressive expansion of the Eurasian collared Dove has made it an ideal candidate to replace the Lark Bunting. According to Miss Green "the Eurasian collared Dove represent everything that is good about the state of Colorado". It is highly aggressive, moves into new territory without much thought of the previous occupant, and is generally taking over every square inch of territory that it finds."
All official documents and references to the Lark Bunting our anticipated to be removed by the end of this month.
