March 29, 2026 - Dalat Bush Warbler (Locustella idonea) Found only in central Vietnam, these warblers live in thickets and tall grass in clearings and around the edges of forests. Though the details of their diet are unknown, they are thought to feed on insects. Nothing is known about their breeding behavior. They sing their repetitive insect-like songs while hidden in thick vegetation.

May 29, 2021 - Yellow-breasted Fruit-Dove (Ptilinopus occipitalis or Ramphiculus occipitalis)

These fruit doves are found in forests in the Philippines. Their specific diet is unknown, but they probably feed on fruit, like their close relatives. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though they may lay their eggs in February.

This was originally supposed to just be a quick sketch doodle shitpost but then I started thinking about how fucking terrifying a lovebird the size of a car would be. Also tried my hand at intentionally going for dynamic composition. I deleted the sketch layer before I thought of saving it also but you can kinda see what I was aiming at:

I really like the colours you get on magpies, what at first glance looks like a other black and white bird is actually full of these wonderfully iridescent greens and purples

just a really spectacular animal

Mascarin with fellow endemites of it's home island - Mascarene leaf-flower and Foetidia mauritiana

The exact colors of this birdie weren't known, so i had to base this painting on just the vague descriptions provided in a time before cameras were a more widespread thing lol. I had a lot of fun coming up with a reconstruction that's unique, while still keeping in mind their most possible characteristics :>
