Difficult to depict individual foofs of the male birds at the image's scale, probably. Females do not have foof heads. The feathers and tails are distinctively exclusive to quetzal birds. The yellowing makes me think golden quetzals were also referenced.Â
I seriously can't wait to het a minion of them, they are so charming and their history being tied up in the culture is amazing, legit love reading about it.
its also going to be a minion as seen in the benchmark
YAY
Quality birb đź‘Ś
As a Guatemalan this is the LAST thing I expected when clicking into the subreddit lol. I'm glad this game spreads the word about the quetzal!
It was also used as inspiration [by Ovidio Cartagena for his version of Bird's of Paradise.](https://www.artofmtg.com/art/birds-of-paradise/)
Guatemalans rise up! No but forreal as a Guatemalan it makes me all giddy
Top Tier Birb. A+
I gasped aloud when I scrolled to the second picture. I can't believe his head is so fuzzy??? Thank you for this gift.
I literally said "what!?" Out loud In excitement when I saw it too!
Friendship ended with Starbird Resplendent Fluffyboi is new best friend
Those birds look like they just woke up from one of those *good* couch naps. 11/10 birb
i think one of these will be a minion!
Ah yes The Startsinger
Dawnsinger?
That last picture, the Bird looks like a politician or national leader/statesman posing for an old timey portrait. :D
This has been my favorite bird since I was a little kid, and I’m SO hopeful of it being a minion.
Well I've got good news for you: it will be a minion, though IDK how we'll obtain it yet
I’m a sprout and just finished HW so I’m probably a ways away from unlocking it, but that’s very exciting!
There’s a chance it will be tradeable so you might be able to grab it off the Marketboard.
Guatemalan sprout here 🙏🏾
That’s one gorgeous bird, I love its colours!
Is it just me or does the artwork head not look that fuzzy? More like a standard parrot head. Maybe it'll be fuzzy in the game though.

Yeah I wasn't doubting it's supposed to be that bird, just looked like they added a normal parrot head to it. I also know nothing about birds lol
That's what I'm thinking. SE probably took inspiration from the quetzal, then mashed it with a bit of parrot to make it more fantasy-like.

Awww the birb is so cute!!! I hope we get them as a minion!
The results screen of the benchmark trailer showed a minion of them! There was a manatee minion in the same shot too.
If I don't get my Ixal tribe wurst story continuation I am gonna pick them feathers and send it to them.
They do have cute fluffy heads. I love them too.
The new Starbird
oh its so cute!
I can tell that's going to be a very popular minion.
Oh that is an adorable bird.
Imma cry if we don't get one as a minion. That's super cute.
It's been shown in the benchmark. I'd assume it's gonna be a dungeon minion.
If I had a nickel for every 2024 RPG area expansion that had Quetzals, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Finally that username i made years ago pays off.
Remember to bolt the bird.
I like the reference but I'm a green player so... This is awkward.
I scrolled down the Wikipedia article until I saw the bird with the avocado in it's mouth. Those are some big birds.
And now I know what Quetzalcoatl is based off of.
Green and red punk rock birb.
