Have you checked with Missouri Department of Conservation, like their MDC Nature Shop, at least for pattern ideas.

Bird: Bluebird
Flower: Hawthorn
A little prank(:
I know in New Mexico, AZ. & CA. it is a BIG fine and maybe some jail time. It's not worth it for a flower!
This symbol set for Missouri State Symbol Set - Patriotic has five pages to help you start your project report: the state bird of Missouri State Symbol Set - Patriotic, the state flag of Missouri State Symbol Set - Patriotic, the state flower of Missouri State Symbol Set - Patriotic, a map of the State of Missouri State Symbol Set - Patriotic, and a blank Missouri State Symbol Set - Patriotic page that matches the others for any other items or writing you would like to do. You can make as many copies of that page as you need for your report. This set is designed for students who are designing their report to be written by hand (with lines).
