Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

If any bird was going to be recognized for its pride, it would be the fabulous ruff. This bird was one of the first species in which homosexual behaviour was documented by a naturalist, Edmund Selous, in 1906!

If you like what I do, consider buying me a ko-fi!

can you do the timberdoodle bird? love those silly guys

I hadn't realized they had so many magnificent common names! They're so silly.

Some other common names include timberdoodle, mudbat, bogsucker, night partridge, or Labrador twister. A very fun variety!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
