Oh wow! 😮
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! 😍

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! 😮
😆
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!
Grandma, please come down from the tree. We are going to brunch, remember?
