I don't know why but this entire litter is giving me Genshin vibes.

Ooh, a Rainbow Lorikeet! How cute, I love how bright the colors came out and I adore the CS label being colored rainow!

Each outcome is based on a real bird, so none of them will have 100% accurate colours (the hue on the second is quite a bit more blue than the ace flag for example), and the amount of each colour isn't really a hint towards anything other than the species!

This got me so excited- I don't have a lot of guesses so far other than our Lorikeet- if you're willing to answer, are these birds only going to be parrots, or from other groups of birds too? Thank you for putting together such a great litter for pride month- I personally love it so far! ♡

Thank you for all your love (Paintra and everyone else)!! ^v^

They are not only parrots! I had to cast the net a little wider to find candidates I was 100% happy with for all the flags I chose. I'll let you guys have a chance to see them all full-grown and have a go at identifying (I can see from your sig it's something you enjoy! I do too ) and then confirm them at the end of the month.
Here were all the flags they're inspired by (but if they make you think of a different flag, you're absolutely welcome to have it represent anything else for you!!)

I really adore all of the pets this month! They're stunning and so cute!
This pup is especially one of my favorites right now:


Can't wait to see them grow up!

These birds are just getting better and better. I am so excited to see the rest of them grow

oh my god i love how bright all the birds are. really excited to see all my non-binary babies grow up, but also kinda sad cuz they're so so cute as they currently are :sob:

I'll give bird identification a shot, and guess that the pan parrot is based on the oriental dwarf kingfisher!

Thank you for the confirmation!!! I'm loving them so far!

Like @Reiemye said, but I'd bet today's Pan birdie is based off the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher- I'm putting together a little thing of guesses, but they're pretty preliminary since most of the chicks have yet to grow up:

1. 2. 3.
4. 5. 6. 7.
1. Rainbow Lorikeet, 2. Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher

More tentative guesses:
3. I'm a little stumped on this one- It might be a color morph, or just a gap in my knowledge!
4. Possibly a Blue Masked Lovebird? Normally they're a little more teal, but the one in the picture there is quite purple.
5. Violaceous euphonia?
6. My initial thought was a Brown-capped Rosy Finch, but since the colors are swapped, maybe a Purple Finch (or House Finch!)
7. Violet-backed Starling, perhaps?

Super excited to see them all grow up- The ones we have so far are excellent! <3
