#i love grackles

[echoes-lighthouse]

A personal (beige???) flag:

I will stop on walks to rizz up birds regularly. I simply have a psychological need to stop and say 'ooooo you're so pretty! hello beautiful!!!' when I see a bird that is looking pretty in the sunshine

Today I was narrating this pretty little black and white bird being like 'hey gorgeous look at you walking over there!! oh you look so nice! look at those legs for days!!!!'

and I didn't realize there was someone behind me and I probably would have toned it down a little if I'd known it was a middle-aged man, because he looked very confused.

Grackles in the Canal St station

Every Scarecrow needs a flock

yayyyyy Mentor!Scarecrow Danny villain design!!

Since, yknow, he can’t exactly show his face in public without the threat of disembowelment. (Also, Jonathan wants him to be able to go back to a “normal” civilian life afterwards, untarnished by the reputation of having relied on and teamed up with the Scarecrow. Not that he’d ever tell him, of course. Can’t let anyone know he cares and all that)

Most of the costume is custom-made, while the scarf is one of Jon’s old ones that he gave to Danny during a particularly cold night

Also, Danny’s villain name is Grackle :)

Can you tell that I hate doing backgrounds lol

Unshaded vers. below cut, so you can see the original coloring

(I put him on a dark lavender background because I heard from a friend that white backgrounds can be hard to look at?)

Randomly remembered that “favorite animal” post and realized I did not include grackles in the tags. Shameful!!!

Grackles are great cuz they are mother fuckers

Nothing cheers me up faster than seeing a grackle hopping and skipping away from bigger birds while holding a bundle of french fries in its tiny beak, literally could fly away but chooses to flaunt its bouquet of potato. Fuckhead behavior.

I figured the greater antillean grackle (or Chango was well call them) were the only ones like this, but when I went to the US, i was so delighted to find out the grackles here were slightly bigger but overall The Same personality. Bastard across borders.

I love pigeons too, but there’s amusement in seeing grackles literally trick pigeons into dropping their food.

Also look at this please. This is what a bird that lives in La Perla and tricks pigeons out of their money looks like.

How handsome can you get. I love you changos!
