Photo of the Day – The Cuban Trogon (Priotelus temnurus) is the country’s national bird. On top of this, it’s red, blue and white colours are copied on their flag! The birds nest in holes, either making their own or using those abandoned by woodpeckers.
Please look at Benny the perfect rooster keeping as many of his ladies warm as he possibly can. He has four hens underneath him in these photos. It’s mostly old, disabled, or especially shy hens who tend to seek him out for warmth.
This Big Boy is a Brahma, the largest breed of chicken. They’re also one of the gentlest and tamest chickens out there, a bit like the Great Danes of poultry. He lives in Kosovo with his (very proud) owner Fitim Sejfija, and two hens, where he is a good and gentle man and very loved.
Brhamas typically don’t get quite this big (He’s 16.5 lbs and almost 3 feet tall. most are closer to 14 lbs and 2′6″) but they’re really nice and cuddly birds.
@coelasquid I saw this and immediately thought this is where they got the fluffy space-future raptors from
