A jubilant, radiant creature, tail fanned and wings outstretched, sings skyward in brilliant stripes of orange, teal, green, and rust. Its open beak, with a tiny red tongue on display, signals a song. Its form suggests a dance. This is an embodied call to joy, to spring, to the sheer exhilaration of being alive in full colour.
