I hate to admit it but Mistiaggie may be right. We've been trying to change it for 2 years without much luck. But I remain hopeful! I don't know if it would help to contact Tamara at GardenWeb but on the Far North forum one of their members posted her email address when they were trying to get their logo changed and it seems to have worked. Maybe that's what it takes. She hasn't answered my email yet but sometimes it takes a while on subjects like this. She was great and responded very quickly though when we had a problem with someone on the forum sending threatening emails to other members. So when you really need her to take action quickly, she does. Kate

Are you just looking for screensavers for your own use? If so, simply Google "free screensavers with (your preferred subject matter)" and you should get more hits than you care to go through. If you're looking for pictures of birds that are copyrighted by the photographer (essentially all are, whether registered or not), you'll probably need to find one of the photo sharing sites that allows downloading without resorting to the practice of 'right click/copy/paste' that draws much ire among photographers. Google is your best friend in this pursuit. Steve in TX

He *should* be in Texas, but they don't all go. Even here in North Dakota, we have some robins stay all winter. There have been at least a couple on our Christmas Bird Count every year since 2000 (and probably longer but I didn't look back that far). He does look cold though!

go to the bird watching forum, there are folks in there with stunning photos of many birds. Post this message there and I am sure you will be pleased with the results!

I don't need many now, just a couple of chickens and to be honest, one of those does not exsist, even though it is the State bird.

The only two chickens, Blue Hen, and Rhode Island Reds are still alive and well. I not certain which one you are stating does not exsist. Just do a search for State birds and you will find a listing of the birds. Some lists have pictures some do not.

The State bird Delaware is not a bird native to NA I have the listing of the birds and do have an image in the web site of nearly all. I looked up Delaware. It states,
In fact, the "Blue Hen Chicken" is not a recognized breed and its selection as the state bird relates to historical events more than to a natural association of the bird with the state of Delaware.

Just because one organization does not recognize a breed does not mean that breed does not exist. Think of all of the dogs that the AKC admits every year or so, if they did not exist they could not be added. As you stated it was named a state bird because of historical events. Historical events happen and just because one person does not consider them important does not mean there is no connection between the event and the breed.

I don't have any opinion whether it exists or not only that there are no photograpghs of one and it is trying to be created by a university. That to me means that it is not a very popular selection for a State bird as probably every one living in the State has never seen one.

Sorry but where ever or who ever you received your information has done no searching for the chicken or they/you would have found the breed is alive and well in this country. They are not a popular breed but at least at the Minnesota State Fair 3 years ago when I visited they there were several on display.

Perhaps a more open thought process should be reviewed to expand the information data basis is in order. There are millions of things in the universe that people will not accept except on personal experience and study. Just because they are not accepted does not mean that they do not exist. Each day science adds more and more to our information on things that were thought to have vanished or never existed but are just now be rediscovered. I hope you have a good time learning about things in the future.
