Hoatzin
Hoatzin are birds native to Amazon and South America. They live above rivers, climbing along branches, as they aren’t very good fliers. Their main food is leaves, with specialized stomachs to digest them, similar to cows! They’re the only bird to do this. They are very stinky for this reason, since they need to ferment the leaves in order to gain nutrients and this causes a poo-like stink! Learn More!

Wing AU. Darius is a violet back starling and Eber is lammergeier. Darius spends a lot of time preening himself and, despite the abomination goo, he always has the best looking wings of all the coven heads. Terra is a cuckoo because they’re known for destroying the eggs of other birds and replacing it with their own like little evil motherfuckers. I am apart of the Terra hate train cause she’s a bitch ass motherfucker. -Punk Anon
fuck Terra all my homies hate Terra
but goodness I love those ideas! the starlings especially look extremely pretty and bearded vultures are some of my favorites. and it's also really funny considering their species are the opposite of how big they are in-canon. bearded vultures are BIGGG boys, and they're strapped onto the wings of this itty bitty beasty guy.
Terra especially I can put down as a common cuckoo; they're the best examples of brood parasitism since not all cuckoos are parasites. plus, I just think the colors work with her.
god im just rotating these guys in the brain. amazing take as always punk

I think I am going to list all of my 4x6 birbfest pieces for sale. I'm not sure how I want to price them though. There are a few I love but over all I don't really like a lot of them. What do you think?

More birb catch up lol. This is the violet-back starling; I've drawn one before, but I think this version is way better.
