Birds I've drawn for ornithology. The colored ones are ones I've seen while out on walks and the black and white sketches are for an assignment focused on foraging adaptations :>

Bird of the Week: The African Harrier-Hawk! 🪶

The African Harrier-Hawk (Polyboroides typus) is a raptor that can be found in rainforest areas of western Africa. They are opportunists by nature, and will feed on insects, small mammals, other birds’ eggs, and small reptiles.

A unique feature of the African Harrier-Hawk is its flexibility as a hunter. They can be observed clinging and hanging from branches, cliffs and nests, allowing themselves to reach hard to access prey and raid nests.

African Harrier-Hawks are members of the genus Polyboroides, harrier-hawks. There is one other known species in this genus: the Madagascar Harrier-Hawk.

"Skip! Skip, listen to me! Think about what you're doing!"

The raptorial shriek he got in response was not the kid he knew.

Her deep brown irises were narrowed to animalistic slits, teeth bared as she tried to wrestle him out of the sky. She was looking for a meal, and she had found one.

"You're better than this, Skip, snap out of it!"

He couldn't take his eyes off hers; the silver accents of her uniform bottoms and the primal look in her eyes was harrowing. To become feral was like a disease, starting slow until it overtook your mind completely. He had seen many synths succumb; not even the highest-ranking Diamonds were immune to it.

But his kid...

They spiralled towards the dusty grassland below. Not sixteen hours ago they were skipping rocks, the pastime that had borne her name, and now she didn't know him.

She warned him, she warned him days ago, he knew it. He had joked and she did not laugh.

"Skip, please!"

✨✨AU TIME!!✨✨

The LLSMP members have created a medieval + avian AU for our characters RARARARARA /pos

Considering c!Echo already had wings- their AU wings are fancy! Fancy bird bard boi!! (Their wing patterns are based on African Harrier-Hawks!)

Little AU lore crumbs:

- Echo’s father and brother are hooded crow avians, their mother is a great blue heron avian (same as in canon)

- They’re genetically a hooded crow avian as well, but they shapeshift their wings to be in this form

- They have many crow avian mannerisms, and grew up worshipping the deities of night and death - as corvid avians tend to do

- Yes, the deity of death is Mumza

Also where are my fellow LLSMP members at?? 🧐 Am I the only one who uses tumblr lmaooo

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE (F-4)

These birds of prey don't really play nice with others, so we had to separate them out into their own battle.
