I'm not strictly opposed to the creation of this category, but I would favor tighter criteria for inclusion. Flag of California seems like a good fit because it has a prominent bear. Flag of Minnesota seems like a poor fit because the horse is small even within the seal of Minnesota and on the flag it's functionally invisible. There must be hundreds of flags with tiny birds on them, and I don't believe that applying this category to them aids Wikipedia users. —jameslucas ^{▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄} 12:21, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

The use of the word 'display' doesn't strike me as appropriate in matters of vexillology. My first thought would be Category:Flags emblazoned with animals, but I trust more dedicated members of WP:VEX to have a better sense of what makes sense. —jameslucas ^{▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄} 12:21, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
