Do you have any cool bird facts

female raptors (eagles, hawks, falcons, etc) are larger than male raptors in pretty much all species. this happens even in groups not closely related to each other (ex: hawks and falcons), so its beneficial enough in their niche that its evolved independently a few times, though its unsure exactly what that benefit is atm (bc unlike males being larger in a lot of mammals, female raptors dont make a habit of fighting each other or using size to attract mates as far as we know). ex: heres a male and female Cooper's Hawk

somewhat mentioned above but falcons are more closely related to parrots than they are to hawks

Gray Catbirds and American Robins have been witnessed raising young in the same nest at the same time. In one instance (reported by Mulvihill and Murray), they were recorded caring for the young of both species in the nest, and when the Catbird young fledged, the adult Catbirds continued to provide food for the not-yet-fledged Robins. heres a pic of the nest from the report

the worlds oldest known bird as of 2024 is a wild Laysan Albatross named Wisdom who's 72-73 years old (at minimum, we dont actually know her birth date, just that she was at least 5 years old when she was banded in the 50s) and still raising chicks. here's her with one of her chicks

also Albatrosses have wingspans of up to 3.5m/11.5ft and have been recorded flying 49,700 miles without touching land (they do land in the water to eat tho)

this is from personal experience but if you walk around in a north american grassland for long enough, you Will get jumpscared by a Mourning Dove bc they make their nests on the ground in the grass and like to hang out on the ground in the grass and they also like to wait until youre right overtop of them to freak out and fly away from you

Bald Eagles don't get their fully white heads and tails until theyre about 5 years old

A lot of birds have been observed incorporating cigarette butts into their nests, and a study in Mexico on House Finches found that this actually results in drastic decreases in parasites affecting young compared to nests without them

Cedar Waxwings (and Waxwings in general) just look so smooth. they look like someone airbrushed them. look at this shit

in Jacanas, females lay eggs in multiple males' nests, and then the males raise the young by themself. Also they carry their babies under their wings like this

Horned Guan. Theyre endangered and live in a small area of central america. both the males and females have the little horn fez, the males just have taller ones

First of two artworks that I did for our local Transformers OTP Zine! Dinobot and Rattrap were one of my first possible pairing material back when I was a kid haha

must I say more, fool . Transformers go go comic. You. draw evil drawings. all blame will be put on you and not me.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you REALLY want, o’ sibling, mine. You’re LUCKY I’m interpreting this request as something along the lines of ‘draw me a dinotrap comic’ and not ‘redraw this exact comic page with zero alterations.’

Well, after much toil and suffering on my part, here it is. I’m shit at paneling comics, but screw it. I considered coloring this but that would take me a few extra days and this has already taken me a hot minute to complete.

Panel by panel under the cut:

And the second drawing for Transformers OTP Zine! Dinobot x Rattrap again, because I can't get enough of them.

Also, thank you everyone who left a comment in reblogs or reblog's tags in the previous art - I'm genuinely happy that my art made you happy! Hope this one will also bring you some joy <з

Right, hard to be conclusive about the cause of death but, uh…Well, it’s going to be plague, isn’t it?
