I'm having a short sale on my pixel pet icons. Normally they are $20 but I want more chicken and waterfowl examples so anyone who commissions me with those species will get $5 off. Please tell your duck and goose loving friends 😁

Also if you have a flock of birds you want an icon of I can work with you to reduce the price even more.

`✦ ˑ ִֶDELULU SUNDAY X F!READER 𓂃⊹

Sunday had made sure the room was perfect.

No sharp or edged objects, just in case you somehow became possessed by a malicious thought. It was like a golden cage. A big vanity but all products are locked away from you. Music boxes, books, even a little swing was inside. It was a picture perfect room, for him. For you it was a cell.

Every day he woke you up 7am sharp. The sun isn't even up yet when you are roused from your sleep. In the soft grey light of dawn, a hand is on your hair, Sundays fingers gently brushing through the strands.

"Wake up, My Dearest," he murmurs, as he does every morning, every dawn without fail. Sunday is waiting patiently beside the bed when your eyes finally open. He smiles down at you affectionately, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Good morning," he says quietly, his voice a soothing murmur in the dim light of your room. He gently takes your hand in his, his fingers brushing against your skin. "You slept well, I trust?" Sunday glances down at the wings on your neck, his jaw tensing. They are a little crooked, one wing higher than the other, and he quickly reaches out to adjust them.

"They cannot be uneven," he mutters, mostly to himself, as he tugs the wings into the right position. "They must be perfect." The wings are now straight, their delicate artificial feathers almost brushing against your neck. Sunday's touch is gentle as he smooths them out, his eyes fixed upon the two fake wings.

"There," he sighs. "They're perfect now. Just how they should be." Sunday seems content now that the wings are perfectly placed against your skin. He lets his eyes rove over your face for a second, taking in your every feature with a kind of reverent awe.

"You look lovely," he mumbles, almost to himself.

"The perfect angel, just as I imagined you would be."

I'm particularly fond of extinct birds of North America (Carolina parakeets to be exact), do you have a favourite extinct bird?

Honestly Carolina Parakeets were my favorites, but here are a couple that I've always been fascinated by...

Heath Hen (Tympanuchus cupido cupido), family Phasianidae, order Galliformes, lived in coastal scrubby pine barrens along the Atlantic Coast from NH to VA.

EXTINCT. (1932)

Subspecies of the Greater Prairie Chicken.

Extinction due to overhunting and habitat loss.

 Labrador Duck (Camptorhynchus labradorius), family Anatidae, order Anseriformes, lived along the East Coast of Canada and the NE coast of the US

EXTINCT. (ca. 1878)

The species had always been rarely seen.

Cause for extinction not well known, it may have been overcollection of eggs.
