emu6 all save emu soon... aka tiering hell... All for you my princess Emu Otori
oh i was so cooking when i said this
But the question still stands... thinking about a bird and horse making out is quite traumatic... Her big beak is in the way! What is she supposed to do, open it wide?? His tongue is fat compared to hers! *shudder*
I guess I have to stick with cheek pecks and kisses...
A thing I like with interspecies relationships is that they fumble with their differences in culture and body all the time. This is a great example of it.
(With Coriander and Larkspur, it is more normal since At Least both of them are mammals. It makes things way easier... For Phoe and Kelpie, ............ they'll have to make big adjustments. Especially since birds are fragile and lightweight compared to the stocky, sturdy horse

Sucks how many people were taught that "horses put their ears back when they're mad" but then never taught the difference between "angry backwards ears," "mildly annoyed backwards ears," "pain backwards ears," "concentrated backwards ears," "sleepy backwards ears" and "just happens to be listening to something behind it."
"Horses put their ears back when they're mad" idk man i think it depends
These are all completely different expressions in completely different scenarios, and only two of them are decidedly negative.
Actually, I wanna talk about the third horse, the one putting its ears back in pain. Over the last 15 years veterinarians and animal scientists have worked out pain scales for most domestic animals by taking photos of the during routine procedures.
We know vaccines painful, and by comparing horses at rest with horses getting vaccinated, we've been able to determine how they express pain visually. By looking at horses with disorders like colic, broken bones, wounds, and so on, we can determine their facial expressions during more severe pain.
At zookeeper school we were drilled through the pain faces of the most common lab animals and livestock. Nowadays I believe this has become a routine lesson in all animal related fields, but the general public still doesn't know that this is a thing that exists.
Here are all the pain face/grimace scales I've been able to find. Please study them if you interact with any of these animals on a regular basis:

This young lady is turning 18 years old! 😾 This makes Naia the oldest living black-footed cat in the U.S. population, and possibly the oldest in the world! She is, however, shy of being the oldest recorded BFC by 6 months. So here is to good health Naia!

need to make wing ref for phoe
Some fun guys I found in the Coast Range in Oregon several years ago!!
thinking about my bird ocs again... like, you need to think out of the box for expressive poses when you have wings for arms...
like if they're upset, would they splay their wings out and flap them aggressively, or pull them tight around their bodies and huff?
the way I see mammals that their arms and hands are key to expressiveness. Crossed arms and huffing, fingers on chin for deep thought, hand on hip for flamboyance... Wings are a bit more limited in movement.
Suppose that it doesn't have to be just their wings to convey emotions, though. I can try to play around with body language and expressions
