Trivia: What bird and its chicks are featured on Louisiana’s state flag?
Egret
Pelican
Seagull
Raven
The correct answer is Pelican
So why is this answer correct? : Louisiana’s state flag features a pelican, three chicks, and…three drops of blood? Believe it or not, displaying those three drops of blood have been required by Louisiana law since 2006. It’s important to the meaning of the flag — the pelican mother is meant to be tearing at her own chest to feed her chicks, meant to be symbolic of Louisiana’s intention to sacrifice everything for their citizens.
