My Spark Bird story:

I went to Kenya with a friend to see the Great Wildebeest Migration, and the Big Five, of course! Right away, I started seeing brilliant little birds called Cape Starlings. I asked to stop and take a photo. My guide laughed at me, since they are very common there. But then, on a branch, I saw this wondrous array of color. It turned out to be the Lilac-breasted Roller. In African culture, the Lilac-breasted Roller is considered the bird of peace. It actually changed my life. I hadn’t really noticed how varied birds were, but from that point forward, I haven’t stopped searching for them! It’s a bit like finding Pokémon in real life. Gotta catch ‘em all!
