Alabama, one of the southern states of the United States, is affectionately referred to as the "Yellowhammer State." This nickname originated during the Civil War when Huntsville soldiers wore uniforms with yellow trim, leading to playful remarks and the nickname "Yellowhammers." The connection to the state bird, the Northern Flicker, with its yellow markings, further reinforces this unique and colourful moniker for Alabama.
