#daily bird post

[dailybirdposts]

The bird of the day is the MINECRAFT PARROT!

These rare (0.2% chance of spawn) birds live in the jungle/bamboo jungle and can be tamed with seeds (wheat, melon, pumpkin or beetroot), having a 33% chance of being tamed with each seed, and being able to rest on a player’s shoulders (max. 2) after being tamed. They have 6 HP, are one block tall, and can mimic the sounds of mobs around them, which is sure to give a fright to any player casually strolling around, especially when the parrot silently teleports to their position. They can swim, and are immune to fall damage, and when music is playing, they dance by swaying side to side, referencing the Kākāpō or “Owl Parrot”. They drop 1-2 feathers and 3 exp points. Feeding a cookie to the parrot will cause it to be poisoned, a reference to the fact that in real life, chocolate is toxic to parrots. Don’t feed your parrots chocolate. Or avocados.

There’s five types of parrots in Minecraft, most based off of real life parrots.

Red, the Scarlet Macaw

Dark blue, the Hyacinth Macaw

Green is not based off of any particular parrot (although there are several real life ones that look slightly similar.)

Cyan, the Blue-And-Yellow Macaw

Grey-yellow, the Cockatiel 

There are two achievements that are related to the parrot: 

‘Is It A Bird?’: completed by zooming in at a parrot with a spyglass

‘Best Friends Forever’: completed by taming any animal

This bird is very famous, appearing in many different online web series and occasionally, even shows on TV. Good for it!

Day 27- Shit we burnt the bird

[birds--daily]

welcome to birds daily!!

this is my blog where i draw a bird every single day! the idea was completely ripped off from one of my best friends of all time, @fish-daily !! please go check him out :0)

my name is sunny and i'm a wildlife biology major and art minor from the eastern united states. i'm 21 years old and i use they/them pronouns!

i'm here because i love birds so much, and i'm assuming if you're following then you do too!!

IMPORTANT INFO BELOW!!

what to know before you request

please check if i've drawn a bird before you request it! if you don't want to scroll through everything, all my birds are tagged by order. don't know the order of your bird? look it up! the IOC world bird list has a great resource for this.

i tag them by name, but some birds have multiple common names.

i also have a spreadsheet of every bird i've done so far! but i can definitely see myself forgetting to update this, so it's best to double check.

any avian dinosaur archaeopteryx-and-beyond can be requested! many ornithologists consider avialae to be the cutoff for "modern" birds.

i can't guarantee full-accuracy of prehistoric birds as i'm not very well-versed in paleontology.

please keep asks to only one bird! feel free to send multiple asks though. if you include multiple birds in an ask i'll just pick one. when i answer the ask to post it, the other birds will be gone forever...

i will prioritize requests in the order i received them in, but a couple times a week i might draw a personal pick instead.

not accepting duplicate birds doesn't mean you can't request a different version of the same bird, which leads me to…

sexual dimorphism and seasonal plumage!

yes! you can request different plumages and sexes of a bird i've already done! want to see a female ruddy duck? of course! want the breeding plumage of the willow ptarmigan? absolutely!

i have sex, maturity, and plumage recorded on my spreadsheet, but i'm bound to make some mistakes on there. once again, double-checking my blog is your best bet to getting accurate bird info!

if you don't specify anything, i'm going to assume the basic mature male with breeding plumage that you come to expect from a bird.

breeding and non-breeding plumage can also be called summer and winter plumage. some birds also have special names for their plumage forms. just to keep things consistent i'll be referring to it as breeding and non-breeding!

final notes

my main blog is @eggpathy if you're interested in any of my other art! i forget to post there a lot. most of my art is on my twitter under the same name (trying to move here though)

i'm a full-time college student with a job, so some days i won't be able to get a bird out. sometimes i might even have to take a few days to a week off just to keep my sanity. this doesn't mean i'm not having fun and enjoying drawing birds! it just means i'm busy and maybe need time for other things

i'm also still human. this means i WILL MAKE MISTAKES! i have not finished my degree yet and i'm still learning! one of the big reasons i made this account was to help myself learn my birds! i take extra time out of my day to find facts to post with my birds, and sometimes those are wrong. if you see me post misinfo, please kindly correct me with a comment, dm, or tag!

any post that isn't a daily bird will be tagged #not birds. any post that is a daily bird will be tagged #birds.

please feel free to add extra fun facts, info, and generally any other silly comment in the tags. i love reading them and they make my day!

asks don't have to be request-related! feel free to ask me anything :0)

thanks for reading! peent!

The bird of the day is the spangled cotinga! This bird’s feathers depend on whether it’s a male or female, but it’s famous for its bright blue color. A female spangled cotinga is a grey and brown mottled color, while the male spangled cotinga has a blue plumage with a crimson throat. They are passerine birds that live in the canopy of the Amazon rainforest, and like all cotingas, they have a diet of fruit and berries, but occasionally have been seen eating insects.

Sources: wikipedia, study.com (about cotingas in general), and ebird.org where you can find pictures of the spangled cotinga in the wild and a range map. Picture above is by Anselmo D'affonseca.
