dont get me wrong i love my earth toned brown and white and grey common birds, mourning doves and red-tailed hawks are my lovely little guys, but something about seeing a Brightly Colored Guy is so exciting to me even when i logically know theyre very common species. maybe its the west coaster in me but every time i see a jay or an oriole i lose my fucking shit it improves my mood for the entire week.... if popsicle flavors were a bird literally <33333
