Griffember day 2 (#83) - Chinese monal (VU) [male]

Bear griffin! I can look at photos of these birds forever; their colours and iridescence is just incredible. The male's call, however, is described by eBird as a "rusty door hinge", so I guess no one is perfect.

As thanks for all your work here are some of my favorite pictures of my favorite birds, my chickens :) there’s amararucaunas, buff orpingtons, and cream star leghorns. I had a bottle of wine I’m sorry.

NEVER APOLOGIZE this is awesome. Thank you very much for sharing your chickens :]
