this bird looks like a society matron from the upper east side. i picture her wearing chanel, walking her poodles, thinking to herself which charity ball to attend that evening.

From the Department of Animals with Built-in Awesome Hats:
This is a Northern Royal Flycatcher, a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family. It is found in Mexico, south through most of Central America, to north-western Colombia and far western Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. They are 16.5–18 cm (6½-7”) long, with an erectile fan-shaped crest, coloured red in the male and yellow-orange in the female. The display with the crest fully raised is seen extremely rarely, except during banding sessions. And we must say, it’s pretty spectacular.

birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. look at the eye! look at their feet! it’s so obvious. the only proof i need to cite is “jurassic park”, best movie of 1993.
