Hi everyone! Today's puzzle is a Sukoro, a number placement genre that we haven't covered in GAPP for quite some time!...
...Despite it officially being a number placement genre, I've found it very helpful to consider it as something closer to a shading genre! Regardless, I hope you find today's puzzle fun! Answer check will trigger on numbers and disregards shading, so feel free to use whatever combinations of colors you'd like (or none at all)!

Rules: Place a number into some cells so that all cells with numbers form one orthogonally connected area. Numbers represent how many of the (up to) four orthogonally adjacent cells contain numbers. No two orthogonally adjacent cells may contain the same number.

As always, an example puzzle and its solution are attached to the image of today's puzzle. Solve that here if you wish (Penpa+): https://tinyurl.com/2p5u3xmy

(Side note: It took me about two minutes to read this bird as shear+tail and not s+heart+ail. Then when I realized, I laughed and knew it had to be today's bird.)
