biblically accurate chicken
A electrifying Bornean Peacock-Pheasant (Polyplectron schleiermacheri)
[Endangered]

With his iridescent pale blue crest, bright orange facial skin patch, and luminous blue spots along his wings and broad fan-shaped tail, the eccentric-looking male is unmistakable if seen well.

I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.
