I'd love a secretary bird one and maybe some sort of bird of paradise would be cool. Looking forward to more of your posts!

Oh I love waxwings, they're so beautiful and they love coming to the berry tree in my backyard and eating them until they hop around drunkenly.

I bet that is awesome! I found the bird on r/birdsfacingforward. It would be so cool to see them berry drunk.

Omg, what a brilliant idea! Love how striking and bold this is! If you have the patience, there are some other excellent bird looks you could do. A lot of the Brazilian and Australian birds are excellent for inspiration!

u/5PurpleSquids Jan 01 '25

I want to try more bird looks. Are there any specific birds you have in mind?

u/forest_cat_mum Jan 01 '25

The Fairy Wren is stunning. Aussie Galahs are really cool too, and the King Parrot! In New Zealand, the Takahē is super cool looking, and the Kea, too.

You could always try looking up birds from tropical rainforests, too, since they're often very diverse and spectacular. Closer to home, there's always magpies, blue tits, ravens (that iridescence is hard to get right), and some pigeons are really interesting-looking. Hope this gives you some inspiration!! ❤️
