raygirlramblings: ~Be a Flamingo in a flock of Pigeons…and you’ll fit right in!~I disliked the expression ‘be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons’ as a means to encourage people to be ‘unique’ and stand out. Personally I think it’s quite insulting to pigeons, and shows that the average person hasn’t had a proper look at a pigeon, or don’t know that fancy and exotic pigeon/dove breeds exist. Species like the Bleeding Heart, the Victoria Crown and Jambu Fruit dove are all gorgeous and flamboyant examples of the Columbidae species, and easy challengers to the flamingo. So I wanted to do a quick little drawing just showing off some of these lovely birds…and a smug flamingo ;) -- source link
