Here's my final idea for a Kbin mascot, I call it the "Kbird" (K = Kakatuá), since someone shared a Fediverse flag resembling a pirate flag I thought a bird mascot would fit. (media.kbin.social)

This bird is full of symbolism:

Birds represent freedom, hope, etc.
Also, as a way to represent the people who "flew away" from Reddit.
The bird is from Oceania, sounds silly but is not a animal commonly found in nature outside that place, meaning it evokes foreignity for a part of the userbase here.
C'mon guys, is a Cacatua, it can't get cooler than that...

Cockatoos are also loud, obnoxious, but extremely intelligent, which feels fitting too.
