My love for you is like a peregrine falcon. One more valentine from a past year.
A stern peregrine falcon looks at the reader against a background of pinks. "My love for you is like a Peregrine Falcon. Strong. Powerful." The peregrine zooms through the sky over a forest. "Energetic. Zooming towards you at 200 mph." The peregrine catches a bird. "Striking prey in a dramatic mid-air explosion of feathers. Storing excess meat in crevices or on ledges." The peregrine barfs up a pellet with a BLECHHH. "Vomiting up pellets of bone, feathers, gizzard, and other coarse material. Wait. What were we talking about?"

Birds-of-Paradise are nuts. We know this.

They dance. They build stages. They have bonkers plumage, some of which is "ultra-black". And now, scientists have just shown that they also GLOW, via biofluorescence.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
