Relating to: designating the wild turkey as the state game bird and the ruffed grouse as the state upland game bird.

AB 585 designates the wild turkey (*meleagris gallopavo*) as Wisconsin's official state game bird and the ruffed grouse (*bonasa umbellus*) as the state upland game bird. The bill amends Wisconsin statutes to add these specific designations to the list of official state symbols included in the Wisconsin Blue Book. This is a ceremonial, non-regulatory change that formally recognizes these birds as state symbols without altering laws or affecting public policy. The bill does not impose new requirements, fund programs, or impact citizens or wildlife management. It follows standard procedure for designating state symbols through legislative action.
