The green one

wild koya bird life consisted of constantly smashing into glass she couldn't see and that's why she's invincible

Invincible koya? But I want to be able to see her 🥺

I wonder if Koya was ever a wild bird at any point… what was Koya’s bird life like (stuff that doesn’t matter at all)

#rise koya #awwwwwwww she’s so cutie patootie #it’s koya time

What type of other big bird should rottmnt Koya be I’m tryna pull smth (to me ur a Koya expert)

honestly she could probably be any kind, ik she was originally intended to be a peregrine to make her a native species to Japan, Shredder would probably want the same hunting birds that he had in his previous life so that tracks. But to avoid a retcon with her plumage coloration in a previous issue, she canonically debuted as a brown falcon, native to Australia. The comics have never really incorporated her being a fire hawk (birds that spread wildfires to drive prey into the open as a hunting tactic) which is a shame because it would make for some very cool visuals, but given that it wasn’t originally intended to be a part of her character it makes sense. Story wise her introduction and subsequent appearances really lean on her being a foil to Leo, so her intended species being one commonly found in falconry serves a narrative purpose in establishing the parallel of both characters being groomed into weapons by Shredder.

I would say you can really go with anything you want to support the story you’re telling! Rise leans into Japanese mythology a lot and Koya does have that tie, being named after The Sworded Falcon story, so potentially still a falcon or a bird of prey? But don’t let that limit you if you come across an idea that you really want to pursue.

Live laugh koya 🦅💥
