Different anon than the last but I would love some random bird knowledge to make the happy chemicals flow

YEEA LETS GO ok some all time favourite birds but not in order this time bc i dare not rank them! kiwi and australian birds bc. youll never guess what region i live

THIS absolute unit is a mallee fowl! theyre these stupid desert chickens who make these big dounut shaped mounds about 4 metres (13 ft) that they fill with leaves n shit to compost! this generates heat for their eggs so they dont die in the desert nights! my memorys a bit fuzzy but the males like stick their whole ass head in the nest to check the temperature and then mess with the layer of sand on top depending on what temperature they are and the time of day n stuff! theyre endangered bc theyre dumb as fuck and also humans keep destroying their habitats but theyre so very special to me <3

also heres an image of the nest bc i think theyre so cool

THIS bad boy is a tui here is a photo of one licking my camera lens

i dontr know that much about em but theyre nectar eaters but will dabble in fruit and insects and have super funny lil dances that they do for defense and mating! theyre angry as fuck and chase other birds and they have this stupid like. feather cravat theyre so <33

THIS ugly motherfucker is an australian brush turkey and hes not one of my favourite birds but im adding him bc i never see anyone talk about them and theyre like everywhere near the coast theyre so fucking funny theyre like what id imagine a raccoon to be like if a raccoon were a bird. theyre another mound nest maker and again dumb as shit. theyre bright fuck off y ellow which seems like a poor choice for a ground dwelling bird and tehyre just. so funny i adore them. no facts i just thought id share him
