Thorn Bird - A bird with thorns on its chest, it follows an unchangeable law. She was pierced by unknown things, driven, and died singing... Just singing, singing, until her life was exhausted... But when we put the thorns into our chests, we knew it. We know it clearly. However, we still have to do it. We still have thorns in our chests. ——Colleen McCullough, "The Thorn Birds"
I think this is a really proud bird
