I think focusing on the golden tail doesn't do this gorgeous little bird justice. Oh my gosh, it's like a little flying gemstone! That's a fairy, isn't it?

I read that it looks much better in real life because our screens are not equipped to display all the colors this bird has. I learned about it's existence in this article https://moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/where-to-find-the-colors-your-screen-cant-show-you/
