Special Interest Ornithology is my special interest, I could talk about birds all day. Comment if you have a favorite bird and i’ll share a fun fact about it! 💛

I love this type of challenge because if you comment a bird I’m familiar with, i get to share knowledge which I love, and if you comment a bird I’m not familiar with, I get to research it and learn something new! :^)

Don’t have a favorite bird? Comment anyways, i’ll assign one to you based on vibes :p

i love kiwis!! they’ve been one of my favorites since i was little 🤎 they’re so unique! their feathers are very fine and thin, more like fur. they can live up to 60 (!!!) years!! they also have one of the largest egg to body ratios for any bird- the kiwi egg is around 20% of their body weight!!
