My watercolor: Hoopoe

in #hive-1743013 years ago

This bird also lives in Hungary, nesting in the cavities of trees. This is the punk of the bird world. Getting excited, it raises the feathers on its head, giving a pretty funny sight.
It has an unpleasant habit of sitting on the edge of the nest squirting its very smelly feces, especially when feels danger. Well, a normal bird never shit in its own nest! But it still stinks when this bird shoots a man! That's why we call it "stinky bird" or "shitty bird".
Regardless, it's a beautiful creature.

This watercolor is based on a free Pixabay photo. Truth be told, I spoiled its background because I used the wrong paper. Still, I felt it could be fixed. All it took was a little white tempera and watercolor to fix the background, which was too vivid and therefore dominant. No photo was taken of the worst phase.
