the violet-crowned hummingbird is a small bird species found in mexico & the southwestern united states. like other hummingbird species, they feed primarily on nectar, as well as gleaning small insects. the sexes look nearly identical, but females are slightly duller in coloration. while most hummingbirds are highly territorial, this species tends to avoid confrontation more than larger species. they lay a clutch of two eggs in a small cup nest made from spiderwebs, twigs, and other thin materials.

It’s banding season again! Today I wanted to show off this Violet crowned hummingbird - normally a Mexican species, they come a little into the extreme southern US…. Like, 40-60 miles past the border. They’re a bit large and I’ve found them to often be really chill birds about the whole process (as seen here). They’re also one of the very few hummingbird species that ISN’T sexually dimorphic - we can only tell if a bird is male or female if they’re gravid (carrying eggs)!

[image description: A green hummingbird with a rose crown and violet throat flits in front of a sheet of music. A wee gold crown floats about its head. Text reads, “54, Hummel~ The Small God of Not Knowing the Words”]
____________________________________________________________
He is closely related to the Lady Mondegreen, Small God of Misheard Lyrics, and to Beep E. Em, Small God of Patter Songs, but close relations are not identical by nature.  He loves them dearly, but he has his own song to sing.
Well, hum.
Mostly.
He can’t always carry a tune, but he gets his point across most of the time, and when he doesn’t, he can fake it.  Especially if you’re willing to hum a few bars first.
Hummel is with us all from infancy, and we fall in and out of his domain as music comes into and fades out of our lives.  He in is the catchy hook of the latest pop song, and he is in the oldest lullaby you don’t quite remember, the one your grandmother sang to you while you were an infant, the one only she knew the lyrics to, that you still hear her singing sometimes in your dreams.  He is a haunting well-received and a ghost well-loved, and when we learn the words, he fades, for now.  Because he knows we will always forget them again, that the song we love most in the world today will be a bone-bleached memory eventually.
Hummel is a god of memory, and meaning, and moments that will inevitably be lost to the slow fade of time.  He is an imperfect god, caught in hesitation, in distortion, in so many places and times, and he is doing his best.
When he is with you, thank him for filling your mouth with sound, even if the sound isn’t quite as articulate as you were hoping it would be.
When he is with the person next to you, forgive them for their temporary lapse in recollection, and remember that this will be you, given time enough for what you know today to fade.
For if there is one thing Hummel knows, and teaches to his faithful, it is this:
Everything fades.
____________________________________________________________
Artist Lee Moyer (Trident of Aurelia, 13th Age) and author Seanan McGuire (Wayward Children, October Daye & InCryptid series) sincerely appreciate you humming along!

Alrighty and HERE ARE OUR CONTENDERS!!!
Tag for the polls: #bird battle
DISCLAIMER - I wrote the round one blurbs when I was very sick and half awake, so if you see any mistakes PLEASE TELL ME! Nicely, obviously, but I want to make sure they sound good for round 2. Thank you!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I know there’s a lot of them, but man there’s SO MANY GOOD BIRDS! There were a few times where people didn’t put what specific subspecies for some birds, so sometimes I’d have to choose one. I tried to choose one that represents that bird the best!
I don’t know when the polls will begin, I’m doing some research on the birds so that people can read about them before they vote.
If one of your favs didn’t make it in, don’t worry they’re a winner in my and your heart.
If you are wondering where the Pigeon (Rock Dove) is, THEY ARE THE FINAL CHAMPION! At the end of this bracket, the winner will face off against the mightily popular Rock Dove! Will they be able to beat such a tough challenger? We will see…
Also, a note on how I set this bracket up: I put all the birds in a numbered list and then used a number generator. I think the matchups we got were really interesting.

Hey!! I hope I'm not bothering you but I just found your blog (love your blog it's amazing) and, as a fellow mcyt enjoyer & bird enthusiast, I just have to ask you what birds you would assign to Niki, Quackity, Ranboo & Jimmysolidarity, based on their character/personality/looks? I'm just asking because I'm making a mcyt harpy AU and you seem like someone knowledgeable in birds and generally like a cool person so I hope I'm not intruding on your time!
So far I think Niki could be a flamingo (despite looking pretty they're pretty tough lol but I'm having second thoughts on that), Ranboo could be a long bird w long legs (maybe some kind of stork or stilt i dunno), with Quackity I'm torn between a Loggerhead Shrike and a Goldeneye Barrow's duck (or any duck bcs well, it's in his name lol. I actually can't decide if I should go for his dsmp character or general mcyt persona) and Jimmy I have no frickign idea (maybe a canary??? I've been thinking about this for days and I have no clue lmao).
Anyways hope you have a good day/night and once again love your blog :]
AAAAAAA so sorry I didn’t see this ask until now!!!! I’ve been absolutely going through it lately since moving but it’s getting better and I��ve successfully seen and photographed a bunch of new lifer birds so like win!!
So, absolutely depends on which SMP for these characters but if we’re going DSMP for niki, ranboo, and Quackity then these are my assignments;
Niki: my first instinct for niki is American kestrel (Falco sparverius), but she also fits one of the jaeger sp pretty well. Personally I’d go with Parasitic Jaeger (Stercorarius parasiticus) also known as the arctic skua. They’re incredibly skilled aerialists that are called “parasitic” because they pursue other seabirds until they give up their catch and leave it for the jaeger. Girlboss of them. Jaeger is also a German originating word meaning “hunter” so it’s double cool! They look like this! They remind me of marble a lot.
Tumblr media
Quackity: I’ve given him two assignments before, but both were for QSMP!Quackity which is very different vibes to DSMP!Quackity but I think they’re generalized enough to still work. The first one, for a General Vibes quackity is the ferruginous duck because duh, duck, but also They Have Secrets. And Know All Of Yours. Just look at those eyes! (Only males have the bright yellow eyes btw.) Barrow’s goldeneye IS a good choice as well so if you wanted to I’d say go for it! I also think ruddy duck (Oxyura jamaicensis) is a great choice personality wise because they are Mean Little Bastards to each other and others rip.
Here’s a male ferruginous duck! Oh god what does he know
Tumblr media
I am, however, a HUGE fan of hummingbird!Quackity particularly for the small size->bigger aggression of some species. It’s so unexpected! There’s also large parallels with how they have to constantly be on the move and eating insects and drinking nectar, with some species needing to consume up to three times their bodyweight each day just to survive! It reminds me a lot of how DSMP!Quackity is always trying to do Bigger and More Things and just never stops, ever, ultimately to his own detriment when he can no longer keep up. Again rip.
Anyways the species I assigned him before based on coloration of the art is the violet sabrewing (Campylopterus hemileucurus) which is one of the larger but less aggressive emeralds. HOWEVER they do end up completely intimidating other species away from feeding flowers just from their size and General Vibes. They’re also cool as fuck so I won’t be changing that. But if you wanted something more aggressive then I’d go with ruby-throated hummingbird.
Here’s what a violet sabrewing looks like!
Tumblr media
Ranboo: This is a bit of a tricky one, because it would be extremely easy to go “black and white bird boom done” and I don’t think that’s like bad but there is More To Him. Past assignments I have given him include swallow-tailed kite (Elanoides forficatus) for a miss beloved design, purple-crowned fairywren (Malurus coronatus) for a general streamersona/r800 ranbrand, and violet-backed starling (Cinnyricinclus leucogaster) for r800.
But if we are going purely DSMP!Ranboo, I have two different ideas.
Personality: killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)
Design: secretarybird (Sagittarius serpentarius)
Personality wise, the killdeer fits mainly because of its well-known predator responses “broken-wing display/injury feigning” and “ungulate display.” The former is where the adult killdeer will pretend to be injured (and thus, an easier target) in order to lead predators away from their nest and chicks. Then, they’ll lose or frustrate the predator until they give up and it’s safe to return to the nest. The other predator response is what I affectionately call the “fuck it, we ball” response, where the bird lowers its head, raises its wings, and charges at the predator. It is frequently fatal. I don’t think I have to explain why it’s so Ranboo coded but if you need evidence look up anyone threatening Michael lmao. Also you probably didn’t want to hear that much about them but listen I love them so much they are so cool and baby.
They look like this when doing the broken wing display! They also just kind of have the panicked deer in headlights look that I feel like he embodies.
Tumblr media
The second option, the secretarybird or secretary bird, is even funnier looking but fits the aesthetic so well and honestly some of his strange and unsettling vibes. The secretarybird (Sagittarius serpentarius) is the largest bird of prey by height and length. They are almost entirely terrestrial and hunt their prey by—get this—stomping it to death. I’m not kidding. They have been described as “what you get when you mix an eagle, a stork, and a bad hair day” because of the stupid little feathers on the back of their head. They kinda look lights on but nobody’s home sometimes. Drumroll please for this absolute fucking creature (affectionate)
Tumblr media
Yeah, I wasn’t exaggerating. Why do they look like that.
Jimmy: is an extremely difficult one, tbh. Everyone assigns him canary which, like, fair—but honestly it does not fit his personality or his design, and only really works for life series!Jimmy. And they don’t even give him a specific species! (Although ppl usually mean domestic canary without saying it.) No hate to people who do this and the canary in the coal mine symbolism is cool I just have Opinions and Propaganda and I’ve been Enabled.
I have assigned him one bird before, the eastern rosella (Platycercus eximius) and I kinda stand by it for the content creator, but it doesn’t fit his general minecraft sona.
To figure this out, we must go even deeper. Into the deep dark, mind the wardens. You probably didn’t want this but Too Bad you’ve activated my trap card and now you have to suffer.
Jimmy is a peculiar character because he is very dear to everyone, but also the butt of every joke—and he likes it that way! He’s a key player in many important events in storylines, but also the most often discarded. His luck is terrible, yes, but it can be argued that he brings about misfortune for others more than he himself experiences it. This is across hermitcraft, the life series, and empires.
So I propose this to you and the general fandom:
Jimmy is a snowy albatross.
The snowy albatross (Diomedea exulans) previously described as the wandering albatross along with the Amsterdam, Tristan, and Antipodean albatross sp, is a bird that is heavily steeped in superstition. While generally considered a bird that would bring sailors good luck, to harm or kill an albatross was to bring about the sea’s wrath upon the entire crew. In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the Mariner kills an albatross that is being cared for by the crew. The crew became very angry with him, believing that he had called upon bad luck, and forced him to wear the albatross around his neck. This is where the metaphor “an albatross around his neck” comes from, symbolizing an unwanted burden causing anxiety and distress. At the end of the story, the mariner learns to care for all the sea creatures and his releases from his curse, but is forced to walk the earth for eternity and tell his tale. This is where the albatross has also become a symbol of past sins, regret, and atonement.
Jimmy personifies these qualities so much, along with hidden power, vulnerability, and unconditional love SO MUCH I need the fandom to see my vision so bad. Albatross Jimmy propaganda!!!!
They look like this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the chicks are so cute it’s not even funny.
I could go on and on about how Jimmy is so albatross coded it’s not even funny and facts about them AND I WILL LETS GO albatrosses have specialized wing anatomy that allows them to lock their shoulder in place and fly hundreds of miles without flapping their wings even once! They also follow ships and will eat anything and everything presented to them, including garbage, and will gorge themselves on food until they are so bloated they can only float on the water. They can live for over 50 YEARS, the oldest known lasyan albatross (and bird in general!) is a female named Wisdom who is 70 years old and still kicking! They are often considered silly or ugly birds by people unfamiliar with them but are very beloved by those within the birding and research communities and snowy albatrosses are one of the most researched bird species in the world! They are fiercely loyal, highly protective, and also absolute little goofballs. Like Jimmy. They are also social birds, with a huge range of vocalizations and displays LIKE JIMMY they are kind of bad at survival (but mostly human threats) and need a lot of help LIKE JIMMY (please protect your local albatrosses) and they are very loud LIKE JI—[*I am forcibly yanked off the stage by a shepherd’s hook in cartoonish fashion*]

Wishbone’s Witchy Herbs: Henbit Dead Nettle
Henbit is a member of the mint family, but it lacks the distinct menthol scent of peppermint or spearmint. it does have that characteristic widespread nature. in some areas where it grows wild, you can find it right at your doorstep. it is considered a weed by some but it has plenty of magical properties that may lead you to believe in its usefulness!
Tumblr media
Henbit gets its name from the fact chickens ADORE it! it is an annual winter-spring broadleaf commonly found in North America. it is native to the Mediterranean but it can grow in any ideal climate! its also regarded as a harmless invader. while not native to America, it doesn't threaten local ecosystems at all!! its low to the ground and doesn't suffocate fellow plants! what an admirable little plant! it is quite attractive to hummingbirds and bees. it self-pollinates as well! one single plant can produce up to 2,000 seeds!! not to mention, its edible! the leave and flowers make a great addition to salads and baked goods!! it has a flavor similar to spinach and can be eaten raw or cooked! it grows best in wasteland and cleared areas that have been scorched. its been used medicinally as a fever-reducer!  photo below pictures the North American locations for henbit deadnettle!
Tumblr media
Henbit Deadnettle is often confused for Purple Deadnettle. they look very similar, however the purple deadnettle’s leaves at the top of the stems are purple-tinged and fade to green as they mature. the henbit deadnettle also has pink to purple slender flowers and half-circle leaves compared to the purple deadnettle’s purple flowers and heart-shaped leaves! (see the picture)
Tumblr media
now that we know a bit about the plant, lets delve into its magical properties!
beauty
harmony
attraction
spirit world
motivation
ambition
integration
peace
hope
rising up from the ashes
inner healing
fertility
prosperity
money
abundance
cool tempers
soften blows
strength
apologies
social anxiety
Tumblr media
fun ways to use them!
make a bouquet with spring roses, wild violets, clover flowers, dandelions etc. for Beltane or Ostara.
put into spell jars or poppets for the wanted effects.
simmer into a syrup or add to lemonade!
add to money bowls to attract abundance.
bake them into cookies and other baked goods!
add them to salads for a sabbat feast.
use in an offering to deities.
carry on your person when entering a new friend group, coven, job or social situation for a smooth transition.
carry on your person when going into a surgery or procedure for a smooth and easy transition!
dry them and add them to candles, potions, even make incense with them!
braid them into your hair.
make a flower crown!
make a hair oil or tonic with them inside!

CC!NextGen
Nijiko Shouji-Tokoyami
Not sure if you thought about her more, but I woke up today with more thoughts, so thought I’d share!
(Again, you can take or leave whatever)
First, I saw some hummingbird species I thought Nijiko could be based on specifically:
Indigo capped Humming bird
Violet Bellied Hummingbird
Purple throated Carib
Costa’s hummingbird (male image specific)
Blue headed hummingbird
Antillean crested hummingbird (male image specific)
Bee Hummingbird (smallest species ever)
Black Jacobin
Purple-Crowned Fairy
Amethyst throated sunangel
The Bee Hummingbird is impossibly tiny, and the one I was thinking of, but I also like the idea that Nijiko is just a mishmash of all hummingbirds. (Her name, Nijiko, means “rainbow child”, so, ya know. Bright colours!) Though the Antillean Crested gave me what I imagine her head feathers look like.
The other bit was, I think mentioned before about her parents? How dad was dead, but mom may or may not have been, and if she WAS alive, that wasn’t a good thing? I think I had a half-baked idea that Nijiko was, like, reverse Hawks? Her mom isn’t a “criminal”, but a member of the HPSC (or whatever holdovers from the “old guard” by NextGen) who is … not great? And her live-in boyfriend, who is a criminal (by technicality) would be Nijiko’s dad. He’d be hiding out with his government girlfriend, who keeps him from getting arrested, but keeps asking him to do stuff for her. Dad would have some kind of bird related Quirk, while mom … I don’t know, honestly. Something with light? Colours? Enhanced metabolism? 
Anyway, I think my thought was, Mom wants to turn Nijiko into the next Hawks, indoctrination style. Dad is like “oh, fuck that”, and takes off with Nijiko, but either got attacked by the Mom, or got caught up in something and dies. His body and toddler Nijiko are found by Fumi, who takes Nijiko into protective custody and eventually adopts her. Mom, for whatever reason, isn’t connected to Nijiko legally, and decides to stay away until she can figure out a plan that doesn’t reveal the fact she wanted to turn her kid into a child soldier.
Like I said, the thoughts are a little jumbled, and if you can figure out something more coherent, I beg you, go for it. I was half-asleep when thinking about this, I’m not sure what sense it makes.
-
Hm! I’m down with going for a mix of hummingbirds (after all, there’s canon precedent as Tsu is a mix of all frogs).
Also I have thoughts on it because yeah the Commission needs a replacement Hawks and making kids from scratch is def the next step after Nagant’s base recruitment and Hawks’ ‘essentially kidnapped’ versions, but when you said ‘reverse Hawks+Mom in the Commission’ my first thought was about the semi-joke I made about something in Hawks’ contract of the Commission having legal rights to his DNA.
