What places have the happiest bird names
One of my favorite things about birds is that a bunch of them have delightfully upbeat-sounding names, like consider these gems:
I got curious whether certain regions might have more happy-named kinds of birds than others, so I (naturally) crunched the numbers and made some graphs about it:

The Sprinkle Cipher
I came up with the ‘sprinkle’ part of my username in a pretty arbitrary way, but ever since I picked out the username, I’ve thought about what a sprinkle-based cipher might actually look like. Combining different types or colors of sprinkles seemed like the most logical approach, so I came up with a simple substitution encryption scheme that can encode letters using specific combinations of five different sprinkle types.
Each sprinkle type (1-5) could theoretically be any kind of sprinkle, although it would be best for each type to be as clearly distinct from the others as possible to reduce the possibility for confusion. The best application of this cipher would be to use different combinations of sprinkles on a set of cupcakes or cookies to encode the message (so each individual cupcake/cookie would correspond to one letter, based on which combination of sprinkles it had on it), but the same principal could be applied to other things as well.
Here's a chart depicting the sprinkle-combinations that are associated with each letter using my encryption scheme.
