I haven't seen this bird, which eBird describes as "cartoon-like," but I do live in its range, so the possibility exists! How fun would that be? I typed into Google, "Where can I see the White-crested Helmetshrike in Uganda?" and the AI responded that there have been no sightings in Uganda, but that is not true. Here's a better response from an actual human being.
There’s one thing I would really like:
To see White-crested Helmetshrike
To look in their startling yellow eyes
To say, “It’s nice to meet you guys.
I’m glad our acquaintance is now official
in spite of intelligence that’s artificial.”
