The Purple Gallinule looks like it raided a rainbow—decked out in shimmering purples, blues, and greens with bright yellow legs that seem made for tiptoeing across lily pads. This flashy swamp bird walks on floating vegetation like it's strutting a runway in a marsh, thanks to its comically long toes. A bold explorer, it’s not shy about climbing reeds, swimming, or even stealing snacks from unsuspecting neighbors.
