I rather like the Goldfinch, how about that as our bird.
The peregrine falcon is the national animal of the United Arab Emirates. Since 1927, the peregrine falcon has been the official mascot of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The 2007 U.S. Idahostate quarter features a peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon has been designated the official city bird of Chicago.
A war on four fronts could be disastrous!
I've lived in many countries and the national bird for me is always the Famous Grouse.
I think you could say same about the Capercallie If I'm right it only breeds in Scotland in the Caladonian forest....!

I thought Miss Goodbody would have enjoyed a swallow.I vote Curlew too.
Miss Goodbody would probably go for tits
'fraid not. Capercaillie are reasonably common in Europe. In addition to the Scottish Crossbill (but there's lots of argument about whether it's a species or not), the only other endemic bird species in UK is the Red Grouse. Maybe that should be the national bird, what with all those lovely whisky connotations
