Andean Cock of the Rock

This bird is a future historian writing about a society that ignored the will of its people, forcing them to live impoverished lives, suffering and dying in pain, prevented from accessing comforts – while also strongly encouraged to partake in the free flow of alcohol and guns. This bird wants to know why no one foresaw the inevitable and obvious consequences.

Some things just don’t make sense to birds.
