Ur a seagull I'm a pigeon what kinda birdie is moss

honestly moss is more of like a cheetah, but in terms of birb I'd say the Long-tailed Widowbird!

If you looked close to one of its many parts, you might find it beautiful, you might find it average, but it is when you zoom out and see the whole that you realise how pretty and amazing and cool the animal is!

Just like Moss

Also they're polyamorous

Hello. Are you aware of the Long-Tailed Widowbird (Euplectes progne)?

birds will really be named some shit that makes you go "damn it sure is"

[mutant-distraction]

The southern red bishop or red bishop (Euplectes orix) is a small passerine bird belonging to the bishop and widowbird genus Euplectes in the weaver family, the Ploceidae. It is common in wetlands and grassland in Africa south of the Equator. North of the Equator, it is replaced by the northern red bishop or orange bishop (E. franciscanus) which was formerly regarded as a subspecies of this species.
