Birb of the day

Bird of the day. Simply bird species of the day. That's it.

 

Jan 15th, 2024- Indian Paradise Flycatcher

Reason for birb of the day is because it looks like it has a different bird's head edited on

 

Let's see how long I can keep up with bird of the day

January 16th bird of the day is the Hoatzin. This thing looks like a freaking dinosaur, I love it

Fun fact: The young of these birds have claws on their wings. Here's a photo where the claws are visible

Fun fact 2: They eat mostly leaves. The way they digest these makes them smell bad so they're nicknamed 'Stinkbirds'

Jan 19th:

Respeledant Quetzal! Truly a bootiful bir

Fun fact: These birds are considered sacred by some Mesoamerican religions. It may have inspired Quetzalcoatl, an Aztec diety.

Birb of the day is back! This time I won't make up for missed days, it's been a few months.

19th April- Philippine dwarf kingfisher! Wins the title for looking fantastic and also silly

Fun fact: there are multiple subspecies of this bird. While the southern subspecies has a more intense purple, the northern subspecies have blue spotting on their wings. 

 

(this makes me want to modify the design of my birb fursona, Lo-Fi, with inspiration from these guys (paticularly the second picture)
