if you're here for spinning birds they're here.

Hi there!

I'm Charles. I typically post about birds and fish, oftentimes drawing them (see above). Aside from art my hobbies include working on my website, making simple games, and of course, birding!

I reblog most of my art to my side blog @charles-drawings for a more organized collection.

I'm also on Instagram and DeviantArt!

(also despite my blog's name I am definitely not a fish hivemind)

#bird - bird posts.

Most other organism-related posts will feature a taxonomic classification to some degree, such as #insect or #mollusk

I went on a walk outside today and saw a sparrow that was like

I'd be mildly concerned if a male house sparrow turned out to be pregnant but anything can happen i guess lmao

Was scrolling through your website (delightful experience)

Not sure if it was already on there (despite everything i didnt see all facts), but a fun gull fact is that they have been observed eating live whales! Like picking the meat from whales backs when resting on the surface.

One of the first cool bird facts i learned! :]

Oh thanks! I did already list it under

"#25. Gulls are able to eat a large variety of foods, including fish, invertebrates, food scavenged or stolen from humans, washed up dead stuff, and even live whale blubber."

but I might add this separately in more detail :)
