Red is a bold color in the bird world: highly visible as a warning, a mating symbol, or just a bold shade for the hottest fliers. While many birds have a splash of red somewhere in their plumage, these red-letter birds are the boldest of the flock wearing red not just as a statement, but as a full on wardrobe. Furthermore, there is no mistaking whether they’re red or orange – the shades don’t get any brighter than this! Which is your favorite?
