This is a saffron finch.
Because it’s yellow
And saffron is yellow
They’re not yellow when they’re babies

Hawks
This is a black snail kite.
The wind made him all floofy.
He eats snails.
This is a savannah hawk
It looked more dignified.
I think these were savannah hawks too.
But I don’t remember
It’s hard to keep track of birds flying around.

Storks
These are bald headed storks.
They are pretty ugly.
Even when they hide their mouths in the water.
They look better when they are flying away
When it’s harder to see the bald heads.

Ibises
Ibises are also funny looking
Especially when they are flying
You can tell they are ibises because their beak turns down
Except for the pink ones, they have straight spoonbills.
This is a green ibis
He was shy
This is a fishing bare faced ibis
That’s a weird name because all ibises have bare faces.
We should just make up our own names, we would be better at it. AI says this is a crow.
