Look at the second image, you can see the outline of the beak.

It's right there, I don't understand how anyone could not see it.

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 9 points 4 weeks ago

I am well aware of that particular shadow. However this magnificent birb is filled with forms of shade like that see:

You can't actually reliably outrule the possibility that what you have drawn is just a shade and this birb's beak is actually tiny. Ofcourse I have googled the birb and have seen that infact what you have drawn is the most likely the beak, but that is another issue.

I believe you can just see the shadow of the beak on the right side of the crest. The crest splits and lays on both sides of the beak sometimes.

Its probably somewhere in brazil

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

Ofc it is hard to find it in the world if it's only in one country out of all countries

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It's found in 5 other countries north of Brazil as well. It's probably hard to find in those other countries too though. Specially the Brazilian ones.

[-] suxen_tsihcrana@anarchist.nexus 4 points 4 weeks ago

It's found in a Brazilian countries

Just pull down Dwayne Johnson's pants and you'll find one. 😏

[-] john_lemmy@slrpnk.net 19 points 4 weeks ago

Wait until you see the female version

Tap for spoiler

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 14 points 4 weeks ago

I appreciate when an animal looks like god was having a bad day. I too rush things and forget to complete projects.


[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 4 weeks ago

We must bring back php forum signatures

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

It's a shame the fediverse doesn't have native support for them. They made web 1.0 forums fun in a way that 2.0 forums lacked.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 weeks ago

I was tempted to add them to a custom fork of Voyager. But then figured people would just block me out of annoyance.

Exquisitely created head and then it’s draw the rest of the bird’

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

Bro had 1 week cut him some slack

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 12 points 4 weeks ago

I'm looking at it and I still can't find it...

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

I see this thing plenty of times

[-] Mwa 10 points 4 weeks ago

It looks like a alien bird

[-] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 weeks ago
[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 4 points 4 weeks ago

[-] tuto193@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

That thing looks like a drawing from anartist with advanced dementia trying to do a face from memory.

[-] irate944@piefed.social 7 points 4 weeks ago

I feel like you could make a religion about this bird

[-] Benchamoneh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 weeks ago

This is not a real bird, it's an Elden Ring boss from the cutting room floor

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 6 points 4 weeks ago

How is something dressed like a road cone hard to find?

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 points 4 weeks ago

That's one of the daemons from hell boy.

[-] fedikitty@piefed.social 4 points 4 weeks ago

Idk, I see them everywhere at bars.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Why is there a blank picture attached to this post?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 weeks ago

Sounds like a game of thrones character nickname.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 4 weeks ago

Built-in visor

[-] Rajtinka@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Weirdest mohawk ever! Like someone crossed a mohawk with a reverse mullet.

[-] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

One of the brazilian most difficult to find birds doesn't seem very competitive.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

To be fair, we are looking in the entire world for birds entirely located in Brazil. Task seems deliberately harder than it needs to be.

[-] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

This thing looks like one of the illustrations in the book All Tomorrows
