    I tried to search for this picture to see what kind of bird it was, and there is none.  I wonder if this one is AI generated as well.

    I cannot tell if it is AI but the bird is a European Robin, Erithacus rubecula. There is a legend that a robin pulled out a thorn from The Crown of Thorns at the Crucifixion to help Our Lord and its breast was stained with blood.

    But the breast in the image is yellow and white.

    On my laptop the breast colouration does not appear as yellow but the correct colour.

    Well, those pictures show an orange-red breast.  The other one is yellow.  Not sure why the difference.

    Now that you point it out 2vermont it does look more of an orange-red breast than a red red breast.
    I don't think they will change the name though. All the best.

    From a park in New Jersey!  This is the male.  They mate for life and take turns doing nest duty.  Photo is taken with a telephoto setting.  Nesting or parent swans can be very aggressive and will go all out to protect their young from perceived threat.  There are no Planned Parenthood or abortion clinics for swans. 
    That is cool.  Where in NJ?

    No, I knew nothing about this. Here's a short clip I found.


    Overreach there on the part of the gov't. Have they nothing more useful to do?
    Thanks for thinking of me, 2V
