bearded vulture

also called the lammergeier, these vultures have a diet mostly consisting of bones. because why wouldn't they. this shit looks like it murders for fun and that's the reason i absorbed it into my mental list of things i want to be

currawong

an aussie special, currawongs are dominant assholes just like their magpie cousins

they have a haunting call that inspired local stories of ghosts returning via bird song

eurasian magpie

i've been obsessed with this bird since i was like 9 years old. something about the wing pattern makes me believe things will be better. also their scientific name is pica pica you have to admit that's sort of funny

pheasant coucal

the pheasant coucal is one of the most fucked up birds i've ever seen, it sounds really stupid (just like me!!!) which does not match the visual at all

they're mostly found here in australia and are a cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. it looks like a hawk. why. chill man

secretary bird

always serving cunt, always dressed to the nines, always ready to beat the shit out of snakes. give her some heels for god's sake

she's endemic to africa, she has her own family (sagittariidae), she is the moment, she is always ready to kill. she is so unspeakably fucked up with her eagle body and crane legs, they said let her have whatever she wants and she will give us what we need and she did and does to this day. i'm a very big fan if that wasn't clear
