Description

Well, estrogen is known as the primary female hormone, so I've tried to draw a female bird, too. The thing is, this species is called the "red-naped trogon", and you wouldn't even know, because the female is not red at all. Could be funny if this didn't happen so often. Dang, even if you add the word "female" into the web search, two thirds of the pictures show the male bird anyway.
(An inevitable bit of pedantry: the name "estrogen" is used for a group of related compounds; this specific one is called estradiol.)
