Looks like a juvenile, too, based on the color of the beak and the general gawky teenager energy.
As an expert in bird identification, I can tell you with confidence...
That is indeed a bird.
I don't have a good comment. I looked at the bird.
Fuck you. That is so accurate! 😆
That is one nice ass bird.
Thank you for your contribution.
That is a beautiful bird
…hey wait… where’s my wallet?
I did look and it's indeed a bird. Thank you.

It's either a bishop or a cardinal.
Acquiring bird
The bird pictured is a bird that is good to look at.
"i shouldn't have to pick up my own food, where are the parents"-- deeply embittered Northern Cardinal fledgling
PS-- nice shot
That whole adjustment from "food gets put in my beak when I raise it" to "Food is at my feet and I lower my beak to pick it up" is a toughie.
Oh, I'm lookin ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm more serious about it than you. I'm watching that bird.
I can see your hands therefor you are not as serious about this as me.
That's a nice fuckin bird.
I did it.

That is a right fit bird
Points for being straightforward. We can’t always come up with a clever title. And yes, I looked. Thank you!
Consider your bird looked at. It is a good bird. Nice long tail feathers and good solid munching action. 8/10.
That bird is amazing.
Silly question: are they called cardinals because they look like they have huge hats?
I would be so excited if I saw this bird up close! What a cool bird with their little Mohawk, bright eye makeup and accents. Punk AF.
That’s one fit bird.
Precious creature.
