After Deepak Karra moved from India to Australia, he was taken aback by the vivid colors of birds fluttering amid the hundreds of waterfalls and lush mountains whenever he went hiking near his home.

While the common North American robin has dull, drab feathers over a rusty-orange breast, there is a more exotic robin found only in the southeastern states of Victoria, New South Wales, and Tasmania that sports a bright pink breast. This shock of highlighter-pink contrasts sharply against its sleek black head, tail, and back feathers. Plus, their puffy bodies make them adorable.
