Go-away-bird

The go-away-birds, Corythaixoides, are a genus of bird in the turaco family (Musophagidae). Unlike many of the brighter forest dwelling turacos these are birds of African open country and have drab grey and white plumage. In Southern Africa these birds are known as kwêvoëls, though they are also called loeries along with the other turacos.

gollark: THIS IS NOT A NECESSARY PART OF CORE MACRON TOOLING
gollark: It's very exciting.
gollark: I have a solution to this in the works.
gollark: macronfmt downloads a config file from osmarks.net containing the current format options, actually.
gollark: The obviously better approach is to store all Macron code on disk as efficiently serialized ASTs, and offer a FUSE filesystem or editor plugin to render it to text.
