2014 Birdorable Bonanza Overview

For the last 7 days we added a new bird to Birdorable every day as part of our Birdorable Bonanza 2014, which has become an annual tradition that started in 2009. This year was a short one with only 7 birds (or 8 including the Uncape Parrot), but we hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. If you would like to have a look at our bonanzas in previous years you can view those posts here:

Here is an overview of the new birds we added in the last week:
