Despite, only this year they will finally make the bald eagle the national bird. Which, I also learned that they are not official symbols until a President signs a document for them to be. It is just a recognized symbol but not official. (Just my opinion but why do they really need a bill for this? What changes would making anything like this official really do?)

Here is a list of other US symbols (article includes links to other countries of the world national symbols, some official, some not made official) if you are interested:

    Where is the home where the buffalo roam? Is it in Senegal?

    Was Buffalo Bill called that because he was an African game hunter?

    Is it called a buffalo nickel because it has a bison on it?

    And I can’t speak for you, but I only see buffalo burger on menus as an alternative option, they seem to have left bison off.

    I rest my case. And if you wish to appeal, you can write to me in Buffalo, New York.
