This is a red-throated bee-eater, which is a real bird of similar color to what I’ve done here. There are over 20 different kinds, found mainly in Africa, but also existing in just about every continent but North America. Which is unfair. The most interesting bird I’ve ever seen in the wilds of Alabama was an indigo bunting, which comes through for roughly a day or two on its way to somewhere more interesting. Fun fact about indigo buntings: they are mostly monogamous, but not always faithful. Birds! They’re just like us!
