If anyone is wondering, that’s a red-backed fairywren. Here’s some other great fairywrens (literally, it’s in their names):

Lovely fairywren

Superb fairywren

Splendid fairywren

Can you imagine getting named the red-backed fairywren when your fellow bird species are getting named stuff like that?

Sure, they’re lovely, superb…splendid even. But they’re not as magnificent as some other birds.

They may be magnificent, but are they powerful?

Whoever said bird people are boring clearly hasn’t seen some of the names they come up with.

They’re definitely biased, though. For every “majestic” or “superb” bird there’s one named something like “drab titwaffle”

Yet if you watch anime, the American character is typically blonde haired and blue eyed

And then everyone asks you if it’s natural, especially if you’re a man… oh well.

Thanks for the fun fact!

I have way too much fun Shazam-ing birds with the Merlin Bird ID app. Constantly listening for new calls now, it’s like Pokémon hunting IRL.

There is something that looks like a crow but screeches like a gull and merlin hasn’t been able to figure it out 😭

Where are you based approximately? Europe/Asia/US/etc? Is the bird fully black? Same size as a crow? Any distinguishing information might help!

I am on US, Louisiana Gulf region. The birds are always flying in formation when I hear it. They seem all black and their wing tips seem to be a little jagged/spiked, not sure how to describe it
