Description
The males are readily identified by their shiny black body, blue hooded head and light blue bills. The females more drab-coloured, with an olive brown body, lighter underside and streaked wing lining, with a reddish brown lining on the inner tail feathers.[2]
gollark: They are NOT there all the time, that's basically their main flaw.
gollark: Yes. You can observe people doing mourning and its effect on their behaviour and such. You can observe the effect of *belief in* the afterlife, but not the afterlife itself unless you have a model of it which is actually... interactable with.
gollark: If there's no way to actually detect or interact with it, i.e. it existing is indistinguishable from it not existing, the question of "does it exist" is not very meaningful.
gollark: You can use advanced "multiplication" technology to compute "expected value".
gollark: Ah, but it has a probability of still existing.
