New Species Added: Common Gallinules

This species was the second priority species chosen by the $5/month Repository Patreon supporters. If you'd like to help choose the next one, consider becoming a patron!

The first time I've ever noticed this species was when I saw them feet-fighting in the water. and it blew my mind. This behavior is a way of sparring for territory, apparently.

Here's some pics of birds with silly feet, because I love them.

More feet fighting pics can be found on the species' repository page:
