Going to add a bunch of others because there are a TON of good, beautifully plumed birds in north america!!
Red tailed hawk
Dusky Grouse
Prairie Grouse
Chukar
Snowy Owl (iconic!!)
Barn Owl (the most beautiful owl in the world in my opinion!)
Pileated Woodpecker (also they’re HUGE)
Bluebird (of happiness)
Bullock’s Oriole
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Long-tailed Duck
Black-billed Magpie
Canada Goose
Gambel’s Quail (also known as the scaled quail)
Whooping Crane (tallest bird in north america!)
Great Blue Heron (not sure north america can claim these as native as they are 100% straight from The Void and will literally eat anything that fits into their considerably humongous face, but look at those feathers!!)
Eastern Wild Turkey
Mountain Quail
Steller’s Jay
Valley Quail (LOVE these lil dudes)
Osprey
Indigo Bunting
Peregrine Falcon
Common Loon (bonus, these birds sound wailing banshees)
Mallard Duck (bonus, their beak looks like a dog’s face…. absolutely iconic)
Wood Duck (probably the most beautiful duck in the world?? Also perches/nests in trees, because fuck stereotypes I guess)
Common Merganser duck
Hooded Merganser (THE PORTAL HAS OPENED bird!)
Red-winged Blackbird
I’m sure that @mishapeep could name a few more beauties, but north america just… has so many beautiful birds!!
Another note: This is in reference to the Filipino legend from Albay called “Daragang Magayon” [literally translated into “beautiful maiden”, with “daraga” meaning “maiden” and “magayon” meaning “beautiful”]
She’s a folk heroine, whose love story can be read here
It is said that her lover, Panganoron, is the clouds that surround Mt. Mayon’s peak, while she is herself the volcano, which has always been seen as remarkably beautiful in shape
It’s said that the volcano grew where they were buried together
Which is why the shape of two lovers seen in the smoke of its most recent eruption is so culturally significant.
And really, really cool.
Ya’ll are gonna loose your marbles when you hear about Iztacihuatl and Poocatepetl, the two active volcanos here in Mexico.
That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.
Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way
No one will know which is it
he is currently fighting a legal battle with apple because they got the DHS to seize a shipment of batteries he ordered from China he needed to fix 2008 macs that apple refuses to service on the grounds of them being “vintage” but also don’t want ppl like rossman to be allowed repair them either
He is also sponsoring a bill to enshrin in law the right to repair. Apple is also likely to face charges for false copyright and false patient claims if their DHS infringement goes to trial. They are current petitioning the court to block Louis Rossman from having the ability to legally defend himself or present counter evidence. You know a complete violation of the US Constitution.
Worse yet the CA judge is entertaining the request and there by dragging the trial out by months when it is illegal for the request to even be made.
