A bold and summery lemon yellow fills the bird's breast, flecked with spots of brown. The Tanager's jet black and glossy tail leads up to a transluscent red head and blue gradient beak. Very faintly etched on its base with O. Toikka Nuutajärvi and each bird's respective number out of 253, this limited edition bird is a sight to behold.
