10 COLORFUL, INTERESTING & BEAUTIFUL BIRDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, 5/25/2025

   Choosing these 10 colorful and beautiful birds (2 are on the same photo) was a very subjective process.  Someone else may have chosen different birds.  Here are some of the parameters I used to pick these bird photos:

• A good photo.  There were some birds I may have chosen if I had a better photo.
• I wanted to represent as many countries as possible - eight countries are represented on four continents plus Central America.
