I got a new bird greeting card up on my shop! It’s a Racket-tailed Drongo from Asia.

I do all these myself in Procreate—no artificial generating involved. I print, pack and post them all myself, too!

An old quiz programme on TV mentioned the Australian word "drongo" - a bird in addition to being slang for a dumbass - and it's been a ridiculous number of years since I last heard it used as a mild insult. Reminds me of when we were cruising around South America and got talking to some Aussies and one of them actually said "Fair dinkum" to us. Like something out of the movies. We were stupidly happy to hear it.

Egg signatures allow #drongos to identify #cuckoo forgeries almost every time
https://phys.org/news/2023-07-egg-signatures-drongos-cuckoo-forgeries.htmlWhen perfection isn't enough: host egg signatures are an effective defence against high-fidelity African cuckoo #mimicry. By Jess Lund et al. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2023.1125
"African #cuckoos may have met their match with the fork-tailed #drongo, which can detect and reject cuckoo #eggs from their nest on almost every occasion, despite them on average looking almost identical to drongo eggs."
