Oh wow! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I just saw that other Flameback, so now I got recommended this beautiful creature!

The other had such amazing earth tones, and now this one is going for the completely vibrant look! Stunning! ๐Ÿ˜

Imagine going to a convention wearing a lava / hell-themed cosplay, and then just... wearing that costume every day for the rest of your life.

Friends, I want to tell you what this bird just did! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

lol the OG

These flamebacks are so cool. I think the world is trying to keep these and the trogons a secret from us. They even have badass names!
