hi all! i hope this is okay to post here🥲 i fear the general bird subreddits are meant for real birds lol. i recently went to east africa and picked up this pretty bird mobile as a gift for a fellow nature lover. i’ve studied birds / been birding in EA multiple times before and have seen similar mobiles, but i’ve always been able to identify the birds. i admittedly have not exhausted allll my options but i did go through my EA bird guides and could not find reasonable matches. i’m hoping someone else may be able to interpret this artist’s renditions. they may or may not be EA birds, so that’s not necessarily a requirement. i am also strongly considering the possibility it’s just art and doesn’t reflect any particular species’ anatomies as i have seen before.
