day 10

today's bird is the ruffed grouse! (displaying)

- the ruffed grouse can consume bitter, toxic plant and high volumes of fibrous vegetation that other birds can't handle

- the ruffed grouse grows snowshoe-like projections off of its feet in the winter for help traversing through snow

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Most birds take at least a few weeks to learn how to fly, if not longer. The maleo, however, is a bird far ahead of the game. This species buries its eggs deep underground, and after the chicks hatch they dig their way to the surface and are able to fly almost immediately.

One problem with being a writer and an illustrator is that sometimes Writer You writes things like “a multitude of pheasants” because it’s easy and quick, but then Illustrator You has to go and learn how to draw a Multitude of Pheasants. (just kidding, I loved drawing pheasants)
