Takahē (population around 400) are found only in New Zealand. They belong to the Rallidae (rail) family of birds, as do their lookalike but lighter-built cousins, the pukeko (Porphyrio porphyrio).

As some may know every year Forrest & Bird Aotearoa host the the Bird Of The Year award. This year is the Bird Of The Century award. John Oliver is trying to interfere in our election, but please take a bit of time to read about our birds. Voting and information about each bird can be found here: https://www.birdoftheyear.org.nz

Takahē birds form monogamous couples that stay together throughout their lives.

“Lazarus species” (started 2021, casually finished in 2022)

Hi again! Still alive. 

Random dissappearance was due to needing to replace the entire (wood-tiled) roof of my house... I’m absolutely broken, had to ask family and even a friend for money, but the deal is done at least. And just in time as it’s started raining and it’s gonna remain that way for at least a week (thankfully!!! the drought has been severe in here lately, and the forest fires all over the country have been brutal). I will have to budget very hard in the upcoming months, and feeling exhausted, but also relieved the roof is done with. 

So yeah! This blog exists mostly to archieve old art, but have some new art this time!

Lazarus species.... aka, species that were once thought extinct, but were later found to still subsist. Names in the tags, and probably to be edited later and added to the body of the post as well.

These are just casual doodles, that I sometimes do as warmup. They’re not the best and I can see alot of things I could fix... but doodles be doodles! 

I will be sharing some more old art later :>
