What kind of birds are people thinking about these days? I saw some pelicans a few weeks back. In Minnesota! They apparently hang out there in the summer.
I wrote my game about a crow for many reasons. Yeah they're common, and they're not the most flamboyant birds, but the ways they interact with the world and with other organisms is endlessly interesting to me.
Also, pigeons! They were one of the first domesticated animals in all of humanity- they were incredibly useful for delivering information far faster than even a person on horseback, and they were integrated into the culture of cities so much that they never left even after we abandoned them.
I'm also incredibly fond of kingfishers and owls and herons. They're all birds with a lot of character and they're rather present birds.
I’ve got blue tits and red robins in my mind. Their behaviour and scope is relatable: their territory, our house, their hedge, our window, symetrical glances connecting. Blackbirds too, but they’re brawly and don’t care for us. They sing beautifully and when they’re well fed, the males beaks are a vibrant orange.
Are you interested in knowing which kind of bird is the best one? Search no further, because everyone should agree that the best kind of bird and associated symbolized personality is - wait for it - WHITE CROW!:) Behold: https://ormrin.itch.io/white-crow !:)
