The thing with Fionwë / Urwendi is that, since Fionwë is Manwë's son but Urwendi is a Maia of her own, it means that birdy boy has a crush on an older woman and I find this very sexy.

Little Fionwë chirping happily at that hot (pun intended) fire lady and she pats his head, telling him he's an adorable princeling.

#i am once more bemoaning the lack of actual Qorinómi tale #give me all the Fionwendi content 😭😭😭😭 #i just love them ❤️ #also btw if youre having a bad time pls google the Pygmy Falcon #tis borb but also tis Fionwë #(and obviously it translates on Eönwë lbr) #otp: he of the sun #book of lost tales #fionwe #urwendi

Animal of the Day!

African Pygmy Falcon (Polihierax semitorquatus)

(Photo by Fanis Theofanopoulos)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Northeastern and southwestern Africa

Size (Weight/Length)- 62 g; 20 cm

Diet- Insects; Lizards; Small birds

Cool Facts- The African pygmy falcon may look adorable but they are certainly fierce. Only a little larger than a sparrow, these falcons are the smallest bird of prey in all of Africa. Living in symbiosis with white-headed buffalo weavers, the African pygmy falcon benefits from the weaver’s massive communal nest while the falcon chases off possible threats to the weavers such as snakes. While African pygmy falcons typically live in monogamous pairs, sometimes several pairs will call a single, large weaver nest home.

Rating- 12/10 (Tiny, deadly, helpful neighbor.)

Second bird inspiration book idea:

Pygmy Falcons in the Kalahari Desert are allowed to stay near the Cliff Swallows nests even though they occasionally eat the swallow babies because they will also defend the nest from other predators.

So like, the Cliff Swallows will willingly let the Falcon stay and sacrifice some of their young to protect the rest.
