There is a bird here in Brazil called ‘Guará,’ a member of the Ibis family. It is also known as “Guará-pitanga” due to the color of its plumage. (‘Pitanga’ is a small, South American-endemic crimson fruit that closely resembles a cherry.) My mom used to call it “Do Sangue-d’Rá.” (Of Ra’s Blood.) Indigenous peoples used to make cloaks with their feathers. (I think they still do, but I’m not sure.) Anyway, thought it would be interesting to share a bit about it.
