Starting off my challenge to make 1 zine every week until march, it’s some of my favourite baby birds!

I’m doing this challenge to try to kick my habit of overthinking and never starting stuff, though I will admit I’m posting this now on my self-appointed deadline day because I spent the whole week overthinking, gotta start somewhere I guess. Once I forced myself to just sit down and just start drawing it only took me an hour which makes me feel a bit silly

some beetles cant fly but they dont mind. they are more armored than agile and in certain situations this is desirable

turns the page of my textbook. what eelse is there to learn

[memorycycle]

the common ancestor of all current day beetles was a sect of philosphers in ancient greece that took to creeping secretly within the earth as an ideal lifestyle

it turns out i really enjoy making educational posts about the comics making process and ways of thinking. here's another one featuring characters from my graphic novel in a very anachronistic art museum.

BIRD OF THE YEAR JUST OPENED FOR VOTING! (yes you can vote even if you're not in New Zealand)

This rather silly annual 'competition' is also one of the best ways for the public to learn about sometimes birds and support conservation!

The matuku-hūrepo/Australasian bittern gets Very Little Attention compared to charismatic species like the kākāpō and yellow-eyed penguin, which have both won twice! However, they absolutely deserve a podium spot:

There's estimated less than 700 left in NZ, and not much work is being done for them. Probably fewer than 2000 total across the world. And their numbers are still declining! 90% of bittern habitat in NZ is already destroyed. Plus, wetlands are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the country, so protecting the bittern also means protecting myriad other cool species that live in the marshes!

If you have a couple minutes free, go vote now >:D You can vote even if you're outside NZ! And you get to choose up to 5 birds too!

NZ does great in conservation, but there's always a few species that need some extra help! Here's other endangered birds needing more attention that would greatly appreciate your vote:

Southern NZ Dotterel: 101 left at the last count, still declining. Threatened by feral cats in their breeding grounds; more funding could help support extra trapping of predators.

Black stilt: ~160 remaining, slow slow recovery with some conservation efforts.

Orange-fronted parakeet / kākāriki karaka: around 300-450 left in the wild, a bit uncertain but mostly stable for now. Was declared extinct twice in the past!

Long-tailed cuckoo/koel: WE DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY ARE LEFT. Very interesting species that migrates between NZ and Pacific Islands. Numbers are declining, but we're not sure by how much.
