This is a secretarybird, the most alien-looking bird I have ever seen in person. It stands about four feet tall, and hunts lizards, snakes, and other small animals by walking along looking at the ground. It can strike prey with its beak, but often uses its long legs and claws.

I have read that secretarybirds often hunt in pairs or groups, but the two I saw were solitary.

@todaysbird.

Let's face it: there is not a single day in your lifespan that cannot be improved by a bird. Not one. It may be the beauty and elegance of the swan in motion across the glassy surface of the water. It may be the majesty and power of a kestrel in flight. It may be the lovable banality of the pigeon, simply nodding, cooing, and making its way around a garden or city center near you.

There really is a bird for every mood, every weather, every season, and indeed every day. This is where @todaysbird comes in rather handy. Because, true to its name, they post our avian pals however seems fit for the needs of that day. A ruby-throated hummingbird hunting for insects? A California Condor #69 (nice)? A pigeon in Budapest? A croissant? There is not a bad day that cannot be remedied, nor a good day made all the more sweeter, by a little something bestowed by todaysbird.

These birbs were only six feet away from me on this lich stump! There were three in total in my yard that day, it was magical!

The lilac-breasted roller is a small, beautiful bird which is fairly common in Southern and Eastern Africa. It is Kenya's national bird.

The bird is even more colorful in flight, but I wasn't quick enough to get a clear photo then.

@todaysbird A wild turkey just tapped on my window. They do that sometimes. Honestly sometimes I think they are training me to go put more birdseed outside. But I guess they could just be curious.

There are a lot of wild turkeys where I live. Usually 20 or more will flock around the house. My family puts out cracked corn and birdseed for the smaller birds but the turkeys love it too. They’re all adorable. 😄

(Sorry quality is a bit bad but I have more turkey photos I took below)
