#chicken and the hawk

[hedgehog-moss]

I've been worried this week about birds of prey attacking my chickens—well, one bird of prey. I heard a hen make her very characteristic INTRUDER cry the other day and ran out of the house and there was a hawk flying in circles high above. I half-heartedly threw some sticks in its direction and told my hen not to be so dramatic (the hawk looked like it was minding its own business frankly), but the next day it happened again, and I thought, I've been unfair to the hens, the hawk from yesterday was actually reconnoitering and they could tell. Then there was another alert the next day. I was starting to get a bit alarmed about the fact that I was dealing with the world's most determined hawk—though I didn't see it again past the first time, I figured I arrived too late and Pandolf had already deterred it.

I ended up setting up a pen for the hens very near my house, under the hazel tree so they'd be sheltered, and spying from the kitchen window the next day, to see if it was still the same bird or what. It tended to attack at the same time every day, which was extra baffling.

And what I saw was Pandolf returning from his daily morning patrol around the pasture, faff around looking a bit bored, circle my house looking for me, and when he didn't find me, go to the chickens' pen and pretend to pounce on them like a fox, which startled them and made them cry out. Pandolf didn't touch them, he clearly just wanted them to make their magical Make Human Appear noise. Immediately after they yelped he turned to look at the front door expectantly, waiting for me to run out. He knows that when I get distracted from what I was doing indoors I often end up being like, well, now that I'm outside I might as well go do [outdoor chore of the day] and he gets to tag along, so he concocted this devious plan...

So. I must turn this post into a callout post for Pandolf. This is the face of a problematic dog, who tried to frame a hawk and use innocent hens for his own ends after he realised their person-summoning noises work while his do not.

Do you think that the HoM crew knows about Randy’s fear of chickens?

(I both hope they do and don’t. Do, because it’s overall funny to think about and Don’t, because I’m sure Randy’s really self conscious about his fear and worries about judgment from anyone)

if it comes up, im sure most of them would be understanding (after all, phobias sometimes can't be helped) after some good natured ribbing

but i have a feeling that Randy might try his best to seem tough in front of them and some would probably take the teasing... a bit too far

imagine ghost clowns tho >;)

dabi: *louder* BIRCH

hawks: ????? what? why did you call me like some freaking tree? what the hell?

dabi: it’s not a tree, it’s a bird bitch - birch.

hawks: and now he is a fucking poet...

Aah. So like I just recently stumbled upon Sky Cowboys and I am so enraptured by Larn’s worldbuilding.

If you don’t know, Sky Cowboys is basically what if old west but Pegasus and I love it.

I made these three for it.

Sorin is based off of a bearded vulture and loves to roll around in red dirt to the point he’s stained his pale gray feathers red.

Asra is based off of an ornate hawk-eagle and she is a very firey mare with a short temper.

Visha is based off a salmon pekin brahman chicken and he is a good boy that loves traveling to dressage shows as well as going for trail rides with kids.

You can go here to see my photo references.

I spent too long on these but it was fun anyway. Will likely add more.

Full credit to @skycowboys for the lineart and worldbuilding I love your ideas and storytelling. I recommend checking out their blog.

I love the idea of Berk being the closest inhabited island to Helheim's Gate/Dragon Island. Like while other islands in the archipelago certainly had their issues with dragon attacks, Berk got the absolute worst of it. Idk I was just thinking about when Hiccup says to Ryker in rtte: "if you leave now, you and your men won't have to learn what burning flesh smells like." And while I'm sure he does know, you couldn't really work in dragon hunting without witnessing casualties, he didn't grow up surrounded by the kind of constant violence the kids on Berk did.

The way it's implied they get such frequent raids I'm sure they've seen so many people they know die and had to wake up everyday knowing that it could be their last if there was even one slip up in their routines during the raids

Like the raids were so consistent and eventually predictable they must have some kind of routine for handling them but of course, human error, especially when it comes to literal kids being involved.

I’ve been dreaming of this pose since last sunday

Fun fact because mha is finally over the character of Dabi is now public domain and therefore I can assure you he healed from his injuries once again, left all the bullshit behind and is living in peace in a little cottage by the sea, receiving visits from his family
