Flickers always remind me to feel lucky to live in a world with birds.

Something about an earth-toned bird with highlighter orange feather shafts always gets to me (on the East Coast Norther Flicker’s have yellow feather shafts)

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

If there's an award for best son/big brother, it would surely go to the red-cockaded woodpecker! While female offspring usually leave to seek out mates as soon as they're able, male offspring stay with their parents for a year or two to help maintain and excavate the family's tree cavity, incubate eggs and provide food for their siblings.

if u haven’t already could u do some of the la squadra guys…

Sure, but this might be a long post… I’ve already done a few people (Risotto and Ghiaccio are here) but I might as well find more matches!

Formaggio is a Northern Flicker. The grey head and red markings match his suit, which also sports the spots commonly found on Flickers.

Illuso is a Buffy Helmetcrest. Not much to say aside from the colors match well.

Prosciutto is an Eastern Meadowlark, purely for the scarf he wears which matches with the Meadowlark’s throat patch.

Pesci is definitely a Green Turaco (sometimes called a Pygmy Turaco).

Melone reminds me of a Little Blue Heron… which actually appears purple? Sometimes bird names make no sense.
