March 6, 2026 - Common Tailorbird (Orthotomus sutorius) Found in much of South Asia and parts of Southeast Asia and southern China, these tailorbirds live in forests, shrublands, and cultivated areas. They eat mostly small invertebrates, along with some nectar, usually foraging in pairs in vegetation and sometimes on the ground. Breeding between March and December depending on the area of their range, females build deep cup-shaped nests from spiderwebs, wool, down, and other materials in a pocket formed by large leaves which they stitch or rivet together with fibers. Both parents incubate the eggs and feed the chicks.

While playing Slay the Princess, I sometimes liked to call Opportunist "Tuntuni", which is what the Tailorbird is called in Hindi, Bengali(my mother tongue), and other languages spoken in South Asia.

I've also heard it as an endearing nickname growing up. It just fits since it sounds like the 'tunist' bit of Opportunist and sounds better than 'Oppy' to me personally.
