This one’s name is Percy and he thinks youre a bit sus
Edit: just saw the other comments and understand now you weren’t asking for NAME ID, but for taxonomical designations. Still think he’s a Percy for sure.
Lol you tried, that’s the part that counts 😁
Bird 3
Western
- Bold vertical stripes
- Dense horizontal stripes
- The beak and base coloration is tricky on this one, but the stripe patterns really give it away. That’s why it’s important to look at all the differences.
Bird 1
Western
- Bold vertical banding
- Perpendicular barring
- Dark Beak
Bird 2
Eastern
- Lighter base color
- Curved horizontal bands
- Thinner vertical streaks
- Bright beak
Bird 4
Eastern
The other tricky one.
- Light beak
- Thinner, curved horizontal stripes
- (Thick vertical stripes and the density of the horizontal stripes make this one harder)
- White base feather color
1 out of 4, I got an “F” 😅 but it was still fun. Thanks for the pop quiz :)
Having fun was the most important part anyway!
