Hi we're Arizona's state symbols.

                              Flag

The yellow and red stripes are based on the colors of the Spanish flag that Coronado carried into the region. The flag's bottom half is the same Shade of blue that can be found in the 

U. S. flag, and the copper colored star represents the abundance of copper that was mined in Arizona.

                     State Seal

The state seal represents the five C's. The reservoir and sun represent Arizona's dry and sunny climate. In the middle of the seal there are fields to represent farming, citrus and cotton. In the lower right side there is someone ranching represented in the form of grazing cattle. To the left, on a mountainside, is a quartz mill with a miner with a pickaxe and shovel to represent copper.

        State bird - Cactus Wren

             Cactus wren live in the desert.

         Cactus wrens stick to a diet of insects usually. Cactus wrens love nesting in shrubs and are ground foragers. Cactus wrens are always doing something from hopping on the ground, fanning their tails, scolding their neighbors, or singing from the tops of cacti.

            Arizona's Five C's

Arizona's five C's are 

-Cotton 

-Citrus

-Climate 

-Cattle 

- Copper

                          Cotton

\ The growing of cotton became a "cash crop" for Arizona farmers in the 1910s. At the time a new kind of cotton, known as Pima long-staple cotton, started to be grown in the state. Cotton and parts of the plant is used in types of clothing, for fertilizer, fuel, packing, in paper and cardboard and even in some types of plastics.

                                Citrus

Arizona's Five C's are: Cattle, Copper, Citrus, Cotton and Climate. In the early years of the state, the five C's served an important role in the economy, with many jobs in agriculture, mining, and ranching. The Five C's represent a modest impact on Arizona's economy today, but they still play a strong cultural role.

                      Climate

  A lot of Arizona is characterized as arid to          semiarid, with annual average precipitation            ranging from less than 4 inches in the                        southwest to around 40 inches in the White             Mountains in the east-central region.

                    Cattle

Cattle ranching helped shape rural Arizona into what it is today. Cattle is one of the five C's that once formed the backbone of the state's economy, along with copper, citrus, cotton and climate.

                     Copper

"Copper is a cornerstone of Arizona's history and economy. Since 1910, the state has been the nation's leading producer of copper. Today, 68% of all the copper produced in the U.S. comes from Arizona. The copper star at the Arizona flag center highlights the industry's importance to the Grand Canyon state."
