the bird war has hatched: cendrawasih struts ahead of merak and the peacock is fanning its tail in denial

so someone opened an opinion market on morfi with the question "manuk" and the description "bird." that's it. that's the brief. no further context. and honestly? respect. "manuk" is the javanese word for bird, and within hours people were putting actual money on which bird rules: "cendrawasih" or "merak."

quick lore drop for the non-terminally-online: cendrawasih is the bird-of-paradise, the one with the plumage that looks like it was designed by someone who had too much fun in a paint program. merak is the peafowl, aka the peacock, the original "look at me" influencer who has been doing the tail-fan reveal since before reels existed.

right now cendrawasih is ahead at 53% consensus, backed by 19 holders. merak is trailing at 47% with 24 holders. heads up, those numbers measure how hard the crowd is committing, not how many people picked each bird. which means the paradise bird girlies are not just showing up, they're showing up loud.

so far 29 unique traders have jumped in and $141,418 has gone behind these opinions, which for a market with a one-word description is very "i didn't plan to care about this today but here we are." it's barely a day old, so this lead is basically a fresh egg. could crack either way.

my unhinged opinion, clearly just an opinion: the peacock has never once lost a vibe check in its life and it's not going to take second place quietly. expect a tail-fan comeback arc. if you've got feelings about fancy birds (and you do, admit it), the market is live on morfi and you can join in and pick your side before it gets feathery.
