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
this is a good addition to this post. thank you for this birds educations
I would like to submit the following additions to the world of exceptional bird color design:
Cedar Waxwing
Red Crowned Crane
Brahminy Kite
Green Tree Swallow (I mean seriously - those are metallic teal feathers against stark white. Damn.)
Bali Mynah
And, last but certainly not least, the cutest fucking puffball on this planet earth:
The Korean Crow-Tit
I’d also like to contribute some pretty awesome birds
Hooded Pitta (or as like to call them little olives)
Coua
Mot-Mot
The Blue Crown Pigeon (the biggest pigeon)
good post
I’m fond of the Golden Breasted Starling,
the Golden Pheasant,
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!!!
Some of the beautiful birds in Southern Africa!
Oh look it’s one of my favorite posts of all time
