hey dal,what kind of birds do you like?
aefja;ljdfja OH MAN
can i go with all??? i’m realizing birds are one of my hyperfixations and like. they’re like potato chips, you can’t eat just one.
i like thrushes and warblers for their songs. also oropendolas for song! regular other songbirds are also good, but thrushes and warblers specifically have excellent voices. unfortunately, they are also the most annoying to try and see. i am planning to get a tattoo of a chestnut-sided warbler because that is the bird that got me into this mess when i was a kid
i like wading birds because they have silly proportions and somehow manage to be majestic, and some of them have hidden necks (you look at a little green heron and you’re like “sir, you are just a head with legs and wings, where is your neck” and suddenly ZOOP there it is! look at this ridiculous mess of an animal)
i like birds of prey because they have evil feet and little brains. i like gallinules and coots because they have ridiculous feet. i like other rails and bitterns because many of them are shy & a pain in the ass to see, but that is the fun of rails!
i like diving birds especially, POSSIBLY the most, because when they dive, their little leggies splay out like silly frogs’ legs. loons have nice songs. also they like to swim and eat fish! i like to swim and eat fish, too! so we have that in common
(and by “they like to” i mean “this is how they survive, they probably do not actually give a shit”)
i grew up with a parrot so honorable mention to parrots, but i can’t say i LIKE them, exactly.
i do NOT like seagulls. they all look the same, within like 4 main variations. fucking seagulls is wear to fckging dog. is it a bonaparte’s gull or a little gull? good fuckin luck, dude. hope you can get a look at the back of its head before you lose it in the million other gulls all flapping around or some giant goddamned herring or ring-billed gull gets in the way!
pigeons are great. love pigeons. need pigeons in my life, i would totally keep pigeons if i had somewhere to put them. same with chickens. chickens are fantastic birds and they don’t get enough love.
anyway hi i’m dal and i’m a bird nerd lol
also thank you for asking, today sucked and it was nice to think about birds for a while T^T

Rancho Naturalista, Turrialba, Costa Rica:
After the bananas were put out on the feeding platforms in the mornings it only took seconds before the Montezuma oropendolas to arrived (four photos)
Montezuma oropendolas nest in colonies making large hanging basket structures high in the trees
The chestnut-headed oropendolas were shy and preferred to get their breakfast bananas straight from the trees (two photos)
The brown jays were usually shouting about something
Chachalcas also loved the bananas (two photos)
