Flags of Austrian states

Okay, so have you ever heard of Austria? It's a country in Europe and it's made up of nine different states. Each state has its own flag that represents it.

Let's start with Burgenland. Its flag is red and white, with a coat of arms in the middle that has a bunch of symbols on it.

Carinthia's flag is a little different. It's yellow with a black eagle in the middle, and some lines that go around it.

Lower Austria has a really cool flag. It's red with a white stripe across the middle, and in the middle of the stripe is a golden eagle.

Upper Austria's flag is really simple but nice. It's white with a red stripe that goes diagonally across it.

Do you know what the color green looks like? That's the main color on the flag of Salzburg, and it has a white eagle in the middle with some other little patterns.

Styria has a very unique flag. It's divided into green and white triangles, with a coat of arms in the middle that has a unicorn and a bunch of other things.

Tyrol's flag is pretty cool too. It's red with a white cross on it, and in each of the four corners there's a picture of something.

Vorarlberg's flag is kind of like Lower Austria's. It's red with a white stripe, but instead of an eagle, there's a bunch of little symbols on it.

Finally, we have Vienna. Its flag is red and white, with the coat of arms in the middle showing a golden eagle and a bunch of different shapes.

So there you have it, each of the nine states in Austria has its own flag, and they all look pretty cool!
