I studied in Australia for a year and showed one of my Australian friend a picture of a cardinal attacking my ornithology professor (he was fine, btw). He was amazed by the color, and was shocked at just how red it was (it was a particularly handsome bird). I pointed out that there were literally flocks of rainbow lorikeets all over campus literally every day. He still stood by the cardinal.
In other words, this meme is 100% backed by science and ornithology.
When i played Angry Birds, i thought why they had these exotic birds in the game like the Red Cardinal and Bluebird. When i searched it up, i realised these birds are common in America and i thought "wow, imagine having these birds flying around in your neighbourhood. All we have are sparrows, pigeons and crows." Then i got interested in birds and i realised that these sparrows and pigeons are actually so much more interesting than i let on.
