Scarf "Flight and song"

This scarf is inspired by 3 types of birds from different parts of the world with incredible abilities.

We were first inspired by the "rud-headed bee-eater" native to South Asia, whose scientific name "Merops leschenaulti" commemorates the French botanist Jean Baptiste Leschenault de la Tour.

We were inspired by this bird's incredible colors. The entire top of its head is reddish. Its wings and tail are mostly green, and its rump is bright blue. The underside of its head is yellow and features a black stripe separating the two colored areas of the head. The rest of its chest is yellowish-green, and its belly is light blue-green. Its beak and legs are black.

The second bird we decided to incorporate is known as the "Piranga rubra" or "red tanager." We decided to incorporate it because every year this beautiful bird migrates in winter from the United States to central Mexico and northern South America. Its main focus is the Yucatán Peninsula. An interesting thing about them is that they sometimes act as "flycatchers," hopping between branches to catch insects such as beetles, butterflies, dragonflies, and grasshoppers.

And finally, we have the "Blue Jay", also known as the Blue Jay, this bird is native to North America. Something extremely interesting is that the blue jay's coloration does not derive from pigments, but is the result of light refraction due to the internal structure of the feathers; if one of the feathers is crushed, the blue coloration disappears, as the structure is destroyed; this is also known as structural coloration.
