With a wave of the magic wand, the animal came uninvited.
Today we're going to introduce a bird from Monsters University, which is the swallow-billed Donna finch.

Swallow Tanager (Tersina viridis) is a migratory bird living in South America, but their migration distance is particularly short, basically no more than South America, from the Panama Canal to northern Argentina can be seen. They are about 14.5-15 cm long and weigh about 9-35 g, and are a small bird. But they should not be underestimated, after all, they come from the Fright Academy.

Why do you say that, please listen to me.
Monsters University and Monsters Power Company are comedy animated films from Pixar Animation Studios. The film sets the background of such a story: in the town where the monster lives, all the energy needed for life comes from human fear of the monster. So the monsters will break into human society in the middle of the night and give the child a full score of fright before he goes to sleep. When a child screams in fright, Monster Power takes the opportunity to collect energy.

And there's a famous university in Monster Town called Monster University. One day, Mike, the green big-eyed monster who wants to become the Great Fright Commissioner, enrolls in the Fright Department at Monsters University. Unexpectedly, reality poured a basin of cold water on him, and everyone laughed at his appearance as not scary at all, even the teacher and principal advised him to change departments. What is even more excessive is that Sullivan, a blue-haired monster who has always been lazy, was praised by teachers and classmates because of his famous birth and terrible appearance. Mike is very disappointed, but of course in the end he will use the most ingenious way to complete the redemption and gain the respect of all.
So coincidentally, the swallow-billed Donna finch is a bird of such color. The male has a bright royal blue color, while the face, beak, neck and feathers are black, and the abdomen is white, like Sullivan. In contrast, the female is generally yellow-green, with a pale yellow face and abdomen, and black at the beak and feathers, similar to the color of the big-eyed monster Mike. So they come from the Monster University of the Bird Kingdom and go hand in hand.

"If you're not scary, what kind of monster is that?"
But the swallow-billed donna finch is so cute that it doesn't associate them with scariness at all. But then again, Sullivan in the movie is actually just a character set as a monster, but it is also very cute, so this is destined to be a comedy movie.
And the swallow-billed Donna finch often worries about why he is so cute.

Swallow-billed Donna finch loves to eat oranges, apples, bananas, berries, ants, mealworms and termites.
When they eat larger fruits, such as avocados, they extract the pulp and then pop the cores out. And the small fruit can be swallowed whole.
"Well, how about a vote at night?" Whenever this happens, the male will say to the female.

In addition to generating electricity with love, they also have a tender side. The male bird will stand motionless on the branches and sing.
During mating season, males and females also bow to each other for long periods of time, sometimes accompanied by jumps and chases.
Finally, the male and female passed the Monsters University exam and became the coveted Scare Commissioner.
They sneak into the night with the wind, ready to give the children a big scare.
Yet smart kids always knew that monsters were hiding in their cupboards. But what they don't know is that these monsters aren't always so scary.

Since I was a child, someone has told me that who is just a knife mouth tofu heart, not terrible at all.
When I grow up, I understand.
Sometimes adults pretend to be very fierce and terrible, just afraid that you will be hurt if you are vulnerable.
