2. bee eater

Postby redskyharbinger » Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:23 am

woohoo day 2!!! another bird that was so hard to color!!!
this one isnt really super weird i just found it amusing how violently they will bang bees and wasps against hard surfaces.....because they eat them and they need to get rid of the stinger somehow.... thats also the fun fact i was gonna include about them. they smack bees and wasps against hard surfaces. very agressively
they're also bizarrely colorful for something thats not a parrot

bee basher and/or bee slaughterer, we already have a bird called killdeer and a bird called satanic nightjar so why not bee slaughterer too
