Red Birds: Honorary Red Heads

Here are some gorgeous red birds with
red, orange, auburn, golden colors that I’ve chosen to be part of my 'honorary red heads' pages.

The animal kingdom displays such beauty and variety of colors, and the birds shown on this page are a wonderful example! There are the little bright red cardinals and then the larger birds with just a tuft of red on their head...
