Birds

My top three fictional birds from pop culture: Calimero, Duo and Red, including their famous lines.

Calimero is an animated chicken and an Italian pop icon who also became popular in many neighbouring countries. His image was everywhere when I was a kid in the 80s, from cartoons to toys. I still quote one of his most famous lines: "But it's an injustice!", especially as I'm getting older and it's hard to deal with all the bu11$hit that's been happening. In a way, he's become my spirit animal.

I don't think the green owl Duo from Duolingo needs much introduction. I'm on my 607th day streak of learning French and brushing up on my Italian. OK, also German sometimes, because I don't get to use it very often, so doing some German lessons helps a little bit. As for the quote here, Duo is famous for torturing his subscribers by constantly reminding them it's time to do lessons every day. I don't know how much I'll actually learn, but it's been fun demistifying secrets of the French language.

Red is the most recognizable character from the Angry Birds franchise. I played almost every video game, watched the series and the movies, as well as collected some merchandise. I like them, especially Red, because I relate to their constant grumpiness, dissatisfaction etc. I'd like to believe I'm usually friendly and funny on the outside, but there's a whole different story on the inside, especially when I'm forced to helplessly witness the unfairness, injustice and stupidity around me.
