*8/31 - Hawaiian rail, Porzana sandwichensis (EX)

This year’s theme for Avian August is dedicated to the incredible birds of Hawaii! I’ve put together a list of mostly endemic species, plus a mix of iconic seabirds and forest birds, as well as a few extinct species, so there’s lots to learn, draw, and appreciate together.

✨How to join:

* Use the daily prompts as your guide to create bird art each day in August - or pick a few favorites and go at your own pace!

* Post your work anywhere you like and tag it with #Avian August or #Avian August 2025 so we can all find and share each other’s work.

Whether you’re here to learn, sketch, paint, or just admire - remember, as always, to take breaks, have fun, and let these beautiful Hawaiian birds inspire you. Thank you for joining! 🌈🐦🌴 I can’t wait to see all your beautiful art this year.

~*~

I’ve added the conservation status, just to be clear: vulnerable (VU), near threatened (NT), endangered (EN), least concern (LC), extinct (EX), critically endangered (CR).

I tried my best to be thorough, but if there are any mistakes I’ve made, please point them out. 💖

Commission slots are officially open again! I can only take on a limited number at a time, but I’ll do my best to accept as many as I can with care.

All comm funds will go toward creating new m3rch I’m hoping to launch by late summer or early fall. Thank you so much for you support!!

Kaiba and his three white pigeons. And yes, they have blue eyes.

Quick sketch based on some joke musings. I don't think he'd actually put up with birds as pets, but after shitposting about it enough I'm now wanting to write a silly little AU.

For @rainstormcolors ygo pet week!
