    Pretty good bird, kind of overdoing it on the color based naming scheme, 7/10 would bird again.

    There are always tons of them in a field behind my house, so I’m just kind of used to seeing them back there. But they have a nice song, and it’s always amusing watching them land on a tall strand of reed or prairie grass and seeing it bob back and forth in a comically slow arc.

    They’re neat but could shut up more. I’m trying to listen to a cardinal make laser noises and suddenly one of those dudes REEEEEs right near me.

    Kinda rude to name the entire species after the appearance of only one gender

    I haven’t lived in their range for a long time, but I’ve always liked them. They look great, (if I remember correctly) their singing is pretty nice too.

    I wish they’d pick a color. I don’t care which one.
