Today's Bird- the Victoria Crowned Pigeon
Gorgeous Native of New Guinea
~~🐦🐦⬛🦉 “Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.”― Terry Tempest Williams, When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice

Today's Bird- the Hyacinth Macaw
~~🐦🐦⬛🦉 🪶 “The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense is his life, large-brained, large-lunged, hot, ecstatic, his frame charged with buoyancy and his heart with song.” — John Burroughs
