lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.

Too bad Lahore pigeons are a domestic breed and don’t appear in the wild at all.
Some equally balanced wild colorations include

Pygmy Falcon

Great Hornbill

Wallcreeper

and

Black-throated Loon

[xeppeli]

I would like to submit the following additions to the world of exceptional bird color design:

Cedar Waxwing

Red Crowned Crane

Green Tree Swallow (I mean seriously - those are metallic teal feathers against stark white. Damn.) 

Bali Mynah

and the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher.

Allow me to share some of the most beautiful birds from the southern parts of Africa where I lived for a long time.

Introducing the Purple-crested Turaco (the rest of the Turaco family all.have similarly striking red wingtips in flight, although their bodies are much greener and they have white eyestripes)

Sticking with the purple theme, and similar to some of the birds above, the iridescent Violet-backed Starling is next!

Amazing camouflage and a hauntingly beautiful call, the Diederiks Cuckoo is one of the prettiest patchwork birds out there.

Proudly representing Angola, the Angola Pitta is a rare and elusive bird. It is however worth the search!

Next up, we have the beautiful (and tiny) Violet-eared Waxbill.

And my personal favourite (and national board of Kenya!): The Lilac-breasted Roller.

Look! Aren’t they so beautiful?

I love them so much!!!

PSA:

Among all the handwashing instructions and fun 20-second song suggestions, I haven’t yet seen anyone note that it is IMPOSSIBLE to wash your hands properly if your fingernails are long. If you can’t put your fingertips straight down against your other palm without your nails adding too much distance to do it, you cannot wash under your fingernails properly unless you use a nail brush every time. Hand sanitizer won’t do the trick either. If you can’t rub the very ends of your fingers against the other palm, your hands aren’t truly clean after you wash them, no matter how long you soap up. Please, during this global emergency, keep your nails short.

We may all need to find some things to do now that we can’t go anywhere.

Whether or not you feel this pandemic is overblown, you will be confronted with the fact that many things you normally do are not available right now.

This is a short list of creative things to keep you sane that everyone can do for free.

Regardless of what you choose to do it is important to keep to a schedule. This will give purpose to your day even if you find yourself in a quarantine.

3 Creative Things To Keep You Sane In Self-Isolation

[sturm-und-drunk]

A tip for everyone who’s currently quarantined like me: indulge in self care. Keep your hair clean and tidy, don’t stay in your pajamas all day, wear something extra comfy but make sure you feel good about yourself. The thing is, it’s easy to spiral into depression when you’re stuck at home and start neglecting yourself. Also indulge into your favorite comfort food recipes, and stretch your body every once in a while. Our body and mind need all the love right now!
