Disney Villains as Birds
This idea just came in mind combining two fields I’m interested. Not just looking for the color but appearance, feeling and behavior also matters.
Very personal opinion you may disagree but friendly discussion welcomed :)
HERE WE GO!
Hans: Blue-breasted Fairywren (Malleus pulcherrimus)
Very cute and pretty-looking bird! Known for their unique courtship of delivering petals.

Judge Claude Frollo: Demoiselle Crane (Grus virgo)
#That Hair

Hades: Steller’s Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri)
HE HAS TO BE A CORVIDAE. And just look at that hairstyle and that…eyebrows?

Queen of Hearts: Papyrus Gonolek (Laniarius mufumbiri)
Fun fact: Like shrikes, they impale their prey on thorns.

There’s no copyright restriction on the other pic from website so I guess I’m good.
Cruella De Vil: Houbara Bustard (Chlamydotis undulata)
She would see the bird as her greatest accessory.

Dr. Facilier: Long-tailed Glossy Starling (Lamprotornis caudatus)
The metallic effect of their plumage just matches Facilier’s shadow power and colorful effects made by his friends on the other side.

Mother Gothel: Long-tailed Paradise Whydah (Vidua paradisaea)
Known to be brood parasites like cuckoos.

Avian August 2023!
Drawing a different bird every day in August based on the prompt list by meesh :) I thought I'd take a chill time this year and do little tiny pen and ink thumbnail drawings with my fountain pen.
Bird 17, lesser florican, may be the best thing I've ever drawn.
