I've Seen These Birds And Can Confirm You Will Never See A Redder Red Than A Knysna Turaco In Flight.
I've seen these birds and can confirm you will never see a redder red than a Knysna Turaco in flight.










the knysna turaco, also known as the knysna loerie, is a large turaco species primarily found in southern africa. they were previously considered to be a subspecies of the similar green turaco. these vibrantly colored birds have a bright green upper half, and a blue lower half, with crimson primary feathers. it’s believed that the bright coloration on their wings helps them escape from predators; predators focus on the bright red coloration, and lose sight of the bird when the wing is folded during flight. turacos are the only birds to possess ‘true’ red and green colors; most birds’ colorations are a result of feather structure, where turacos’ pigmentation is rich in copper - stirring a red turaco feather in water would color the water pink. they are primarily frugivorous birds, but will also feed on buds and leaves.

Please, Americans, if you are able, GO AND VOTE. Yes Biden is a monster. But your options are Biden and Trump and for the sake of the fucking planet DO NOT LET TRUMP INTO POWER. By voting Biden, you are preventing an upgrade in the level of evil. This isn't the Kobayashi Maru, there is no sneaky secret third option if we just rewire the system a bit. There is no viable third candidate. It WILL be one or the other and as bad as Genocidin' Biden has been, god help us if Trump gets the White House again.
So please, get out there and vote.
And then, when you've voted, and Biden's position is secure, that's when you turn the heat on him and his administration. Call your representatives, protest, make them understand how badly they've failed. Let them know how much you hate what they've done, but makes sure they're in the White House when you do it.
Because despite all the evil Biden has done, TRUMP WILL BE WORSE
If you fucks actually go through with not voting on your next USA president elections and subsequently lead Trump to power again.
Yes. Yes I'm going to blame every single American for that. Collective responsibility and all that jazz.
Been drawing almost pure digital for the past LONG while. Going back to traditional is a mindfuck
