Bee-yoo-eh-ful peh-loo-mage!

I think I enjoy your nature-themed pics above everything else you do.

D.O.P.R

yes! Awesome!
Have you read David Quammen's 'Song fof the Dodo'? (and if I've recced that before, my apologies). Amazing birds...!

Oooh, I love it! I usually draw the red birds of paradise.

Quetzals and Birds of Paradise are my favourite birds due to a book I bought at a school book fair when I was perhaps in the 4th grade. Somewhere I read they were named "Birds Of Paradise" not just for their beautiful and unique plumage but because their feet (and legs?) were cut off before shipping, so the far away recipients made up stories that they had to keep flying forever because they could not land!
