Hello again!!! Its the prev anon, and thank you for sharing birds and funfacts about 'em!! Birds are such amazing and different creatures that are incredible to learn about

And my youtube history is now full of all the videos I could find on Osprey and Moustached Turca. Pictures + videos of the Turca atop rocks are so beautiful, and birds in the brush are so fun to watch! They're just little guys that dig and thats great. Then Osprey coming back to the same nest each year is such a sweet thing, I love that so much. Then the Cattle Egrets!!!! These have become a must-see for me someday

And whats your favorite families of birds?! Plural, because multiple are welcome and also learning about the Tapaculos has been amazing

My fine feathered friend hello!!

Columbidae is for pigeons and doves! I like pigeons quite a bit so this is a delightful family of birds if you want to stare at fluffy round little beasts. Most city pigeons are descendants of domesticated pigeons or doves, which is why you may hear them called “feral” instead of “Wild”. This does break my heart.

Mimidae has your mockingbirds and thrashers and I adore mockingbirds of all kinds (as well as crows and ravens, though they’re in corvidae - but they can use tools and imitate human speech!). They love causing problems <3

I’m delighted that you’re loving these birds!! And delighted to share my fun facts!! If you have favorites I would love to hear about them :)

Maybe draw some Tim and bruce?? Id love u forever

Bonus points for missing spleen

Sick Tim and worried Bruce! Here you go!

[thedayforgives]

absolutely love abusing the power that comes with 3rd person limited pov and just ignoring things and being vague sometimes. does the character know all the details? no? then I don't have to either.

[thedayforgives]

I think you 🫵 should read my fic

Tiptoes by thirdgleam

Tim Drake & Batfam (platonic) with a heavy focus on Tim & Dick, Tim & Bruce, Tim & Alfred, (and eventually Tim & Jason but we’re at least a dozen chapters from that)

Dimension Travel / time travel!! It’s a fun time! (Mind the tags)

Here’s the link :)

Once again I would prefer not to proofread

Hello! Previous anon is back for more bird related questions(I'd never heard of Tapaculos and oh they're so precious, thank you Wikipedia for listing all the species and also my bird book)

On that note!! Do you have a preference towards an specific species of Tapaculos? I'd love love to hear more about these guys(from appearance I adore the Black-Throated huet-huet, also that name. Thats a cute bird name!!)

And thank you for the cool bird list!! The Catbird and Nuthatch are very, very wonderful little guys. And Osprey are such show-stoppers, their nests are so wonderful to see too. Do you have any more funfacts about Osprey?! Or any of the birds you mentioned hehe

Anon I am LOVING this. And!!! Delighted I got to introduce you to tapaculos!!! I think they’re all wonderful and I must admit I’m partial to the Moustached Turca. They’re such funny looking little creatures but also so pretty? Everything I learn about them makes me like them more. Also they dig tunnels which is a delightful thing for a bird to do.

The black-throated huet-huet is an excellent choice also. You’re right that it’s an adorable name for a bird.

I am FULL of fun facts about birds :)

Osprey!! I highly recommend looking up photos or videos of Osprey diving for food - their wings turn back and up as they dive, so they descend feet-first, making a shape which always reminds me of a spade ♠️ (the card suit, not the shovel).

cattle egrets are named cattle egrets because they’ll follow herds and snap up any frogs (or other prey) disturbed by the hooves, and sometimes they’ll perch on the back of a cow, which is always a fun image.

Hello!!

Whats your favorite species of bird? (Or top [insert number here] if you can't decide) And why? :0

This is SUCH a delightful ask!! Thank you anon!!

I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite (I tried. I failed.) but here are my top three for now. This will probably change. I tend to be most delighted by whichever bird I’m looking at hehe (these three are all North American birds! I’m predisposed to fondness because I get to see these birds with my own two eyes!)

1. Gray Catbird (dumatella carolinesis) - these are such expressive little darlings!! They’re a type of mockingbird, so they can mimic a whole bunch of other birdsongs, but they also have a very distinctive call that sounds like a cat’s meow!!

2. Osprey (pandion haliaetus) - people build these nesting platforms for osprey, and they’re such a striking thing. From below, it looks like a pile of sticks balanced precariously on a telephone pole. Pesticides were super harmful to population numbers, but they’ve rebounded (whee!! Yay!!) Also, the adult birds look badass and the chicks look like weird baby dinosaurs and I love them :)

3. White-breasted nuthatch (sitta carolinesis) - they like to walk upside down on the sides of trees! And they’re just so impossibly cute to me. Watch a video of one of these little fluffballs skittering about and tell me you don’t think that’s adorable. They also like to hang out around titmice and chickadees, with the other birds acting as their little birdy bodyguards.

Anon thank you for this question I’m thinking about birds now. I love birds
