    Red-bellied is completely accurate, you just normally don’t see the belly:

    a red bellied woodpecker goofily hanging off a branch, showing off the red underside it’s named for

    Red-headed was already taken:

    a woodpecker with a completely bright red head and a black and white body.

      I think it should be renamed “red-capped woodpecker”.

      That photo captured one with a very red belly!! The ones in our backyard have just a blush of orange.

        I think red-capped would be a good name too! In general I’m a fan of birds having as many common names as makes sense, haha

        It depends on the part of the goat being sucked I suppose. The goat may be fine with it, we need more information.

      Far better names than most others get. What the hell does a C. elegans elegans look like?

      I gave these calendars as Christmas gifts last year and I bought a bunch of stickers. It’s the only thing I’ve ever bought after seeing it on TikTok and it’s worth every penny.

      I’m not a bird-person, but please tell me these are Tits? Then it could be a calendar of Tits 'n ass.

    There’s also the black-headed gull, only the males have a black head and only during the mating season. The vast majority of the time the black-headed gull has a white head, just like the other 11 billion gull species

    This is what I’ve been saying my entire life. Bald eagles are a scam.

    Woodpeckers don’t even seem to have penises, at all?

    I must say, the legs on that last bird are amazingly accurate, perhaps the best depiction of any bird I’ve seen!

    Imagine how disappointed I was the first time I saw a picture of a titmouse.
