the peent bird?

[image ID: an american woodcock taking a step in the snow end id] This is an american woodcock! (Scolopax minor) also known as Peent Bird becuase they say PEENT using their long beaks! Aside from the name american woodcock, theres a thousand other names to call this birdie that are equally degrading! this includes, but is not limited too:

bogsucker mudbat timberdoodle night partrich and peent bird it was also an internet sensation a few months back becuse they do a silly dance

I thought you might enjoy this but I just rediscovered some corvid pictures I got after ‘stealing’ my grandpas camera one. Road-trip in Alaska :) we named this guy Henry and he was screaming for our pringles, so he’s Henry the Pringle King

The in flight one is the only edited one lol- also we did NOT feed him!

Image ids: all are of the same wild raven, Henry, and set in a mountainy forested reigon

[image id 1: Henry in flight over a valley, he appears to have just taken off from a rock. his back is reflecting the light and shining blue end id]

[image id 2: Henry is perched on a square shaped rock, sitting magestically end id]

[image id 3 and 4: Henry is perched on a wooden pole, mountains in the background, in image 3, his mouth is closed and he seems to be looking at the camera, and in 4, it is open and his feathers are puffed, probably screaming end id]

henry is a raven! a beautiful boy indeed!

thank you for these pictures, and thank you for not feeding him!

(to anyone else, please do not feed wild birds, you could poison them, and even if the food is bird safe, they may become dependent. they trust humans way too easily)

Bird Check! Special Edition!

This beautiful bird is a corviknight!

corviknight is a pokemon that just so happens to be a true corvid morphologically

Corvids have sturdy bodies and thick legs, their wingspans relative to their bodies are large. corviknights relative wingspan is the same as a steller's jay. corviknight has one hallux, a backwards facing toe. all corvids have one hallux.

corviknights nostrils are covered in bristle feathers that are exhibited by all corvids except for the charming pinyon jay.

corvikinghts are near indistinguishable between sexes

most corvids have black or dark blue feathers, some have a shine, like corviknight, and corvikight exhibits a majestic chest fluff similar to that of ravens yeah so corviknight is a corvid thanks for coming to my ted talk

This is the only pic I have it's kinda blurry I'll try to get s bette Rone tomorrow if you'd like :3. It had some black feathers with a greenish and purple sheen in the sun if that helps. It was like small-medium(small being like a Finch and large being like a larger hawk)

[image id: a hand holding a small bird skull] well, based on the beak shape and the feathers, id say its potentially a starling, common grackle, or a magpie, but it could be a variety of other things as well also that thing is in beautiful condition! excellent job!

[image ID: a male red winged blackbird perches on a branch. end id]

this is a red-winged blackbird! (Agelaius phoeniceus) I dont actually know much about these guys, but i do know their beaks! their needle beaks are perfect for collecting seeds and small insects out of little crevices! they are also well known for the beautiful red and gold markings.

hii hi

[Image ID: an eurasian hoopoe feeding its babies a larve whilst in flight end id] This is a eurasian hoopoe! (Upupa epops) it eats a lot of bugs! the beak is designed to dig around bark and dirt to grab bugs, whilst its wings are specialized so it can quickly snatch swarming insects our of the air!

Bird to ID. Little guy flew into my window,I named him T'Nala.

this is a green butterfly! i dont know shit about them! green butterflies are often mistaken for orange butterflies, the difference is quite simple- green butterflies often drink mountain dew, whilst orange butterflies prefer white monster.
