Did anyone else forget that birds have tails? Like of course I have a tail, I'm a bird. But I didn't realize that for a long time, and I'm wondering if anyone else had that experience. It confused the shit outta me in the early days.

intense wing shifts while on the swings is euphoric but at the same time confusing cause when we jump off and we're super high we get so confused cause "omg! our wings are here, they stretched out to fly!!" and then we hit the ground and now we're sad cause "oh right.. we dont actually have wings" :<<

i see a lot of people talking about how graceful and beautiful avian kins are, ( which don't get me wrong y'all really are :O <33 ) but i think we all need to take a moment every now and again to embrace the other side of avian kinship, for example:   ⭒ singing really loudly at 6am to wake up everyone sleeping for miles   ⭒ stealing shiny things like people's car emblems and coins   ⭒ menacingly approaching people eating in public and stealing their food   ⭒ crossing roads in large groups and causing traffic jams   ⭒ ripping up the anti-roosting spikes on building i hope you can see my vision, and we can work with it to build a beautiful tomorrow >:D /hj
YES!!! as a crow, this is correct. i will steal people's things and scream loudly in trees and behave erratically in such a way that the general public will be mildly disturbed and I will laugh the entire time

thoughts on winged divines?
i think they're very cool!! shout-out to my biblically accurate angels, gods incarnate, and deity creatures of the seventh dimension and beyond whose very existence is too far beyond human understanding to be confined to mortal language!! and other lovecraftian stuff like that!! love you all!!

I’ve had talon shirts and wonder if I’m a red tailed hawk. I love being up high on my roof or in trees. Does this sound like being a bird to you? What is your avian experience like?
that definitely sounds like me! one of the first things that clued me in to being a bird therian was the fact that I've always loved being up in high places. most people are scared of heights but I love them for some reason. even when I'm just in class or hanging out with someone I always try to get the highest seat/vantage point (and by default I perch-sit, lol). as for the talon shifts, that's also a pretty good sign that you're a bird of some kind, because there's not very many other animals that have talons like birds do.
some other things that clued me in:
-ive always loved crows (my kintype); even when I was a young kid I would constantly draw them, try to befriend my neighborhood murder, etc.
-shifts!! i especially get a lot of wing and plumage shifts. the wings especially are pretty distinct because bird wings just rest at a different angle than human arms, so I'd suddenly realize "huh, my arms don't feel like they're resting properly".
-this is super oddly specific but when I was younger I tried to get into meditation for a couple of years, and I would constantly end up dreaming and daydreaming about flying, being a bird, etc.
-also maybe a little specific but I adore the sky! i have an album in my photos of pictures of the sky, currently upwards of 250 entries and counting :) sometimes I zone out in class I stare out the window and wish I was flying; it feels like my default state should be flying/being able to fly, and it feels wrong when I remember I can't.
sorry for such a long post!! I hope this helped nonetheless! and remember, nobody can tell you what you are except yourself--i think that it sounds a lot like you might be birdkin, but at the end of the day youre the only one who can define/label your experiences. that said, I'm always happy to answer more questions if you have them, and this community is overall really welcoming, so you'll definitely find lots of other people willing to help you out too!

There are times when I'll go a while without having a crow shift, and I always feel so guilty about calling myself a crow on those days. It doesn't stop me from drawing myself with wings, but sometimes I feel like I don't deserve them. Then I'll have a crow shift again and the cycle resets

ice skating is kinda like flying, right? cold air swooshing past you, following the wind currents (the shape of the rink), pushing against the ice (pushing against the air), not to mention a work out

Welcome, feathered friends!!
Welcome to raptors-rapture, an ask blog for all avian alterhuman/nonhuman experiences!! We will post basically any asks we get that are avian nonhuman related. (Hate will be ignored, because why bother?) We'll put trigger warnings in tags as necessary, but do appreciate if any applicable warnings are in the ask as well.
We define "avian" rather loosely here, so basically anyone with wings, feathers, beaks, talons, anything remotely avian-related are welcome to send in asks! This includes otherkin, wingkin, angelkin, etc. (And despite the name of the blog, all birds are welcome here!! I promise I don't bite. Probably.)
This is run by @raysrambles, so if you need anything or have any questions unrelated to this blog, feel free to head over there!
No real DNI, but hate or whatever will just be ignored or blocked. This is a safe place for all avians!!
Hope to see you around!!

Ok I’m pretty sure everyone’s gotten wing shifts at some stage while lying down, but consider: tail feathers. While lying on your back. The tail feathers reach right to my ankles.
I’m too scared of trampling them so I just get trapped on my bed :’>
