Hmm, what's a good bird species? (Yeah, that'll get the Opinions flowing!)

The context is that I'm trying to start a story (another one) and one of the characters is gonna be a birb, so I need to know which kind. I'm not great at birbs so I don't have much clue. I did a quick web search for bird fursuits and quite a few blue jays caught my eye in the results, maybe just because the colour's unusual. Not sure I want to use a specifically American species though.

I'm always a big fan of both herons and kingfishers. Both are found on both sides of the Atlantic, both are available in blue if you prefer blue, and... between them they cover either extreme of the tall and lanky to borb spectrum. ;) So gives you some options...

@Doran Eirok Ξ˜Ξ” 🫐🐾 Oh neat. Yes, they are both quite good, although yeah, herons are definitely on the lanky side and I'm not sure they'd make as good fursuits (I may not have mentioned that as a requirement!)

Actually it only took a very brief image search for "kingfisher" to make me want a fursuit of one. They are rather pretty. And I don't remember ever seeing a kingfisher fursuit!

Ahh yeah if it's for a fursuit a heron could be rather challenging (unless perhaps one has a very particular body type)! I'm glad the kingfisher appeals though, I've never seen one as a fursuit either, but they're some of my favourite birbs. ^^
