Animal of the Day!

Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca)

(Photo by Saswat Mishra)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Southeastern Asia; India

Size (Weight/Length)- 20 g; 14 cm

Diet- Insects; Small amphibians; Small reptiles; Fish

Cool Facts- The oriental dwarf kingfisher is one of the smallest species of kingfisher. They are also one of the few birds to only have three toes. Surprisingly, this bird lacks sexual dimorphism so both males and females sport their brilliant plumage. Oriental dwarf kingfishers mate for life and dig burrows in stream banks as their nest. The tunnels are carefully dug so the eggs sit on a flat surface but the entrance of the nest is lower, allowing for water to drain in case it rains. Both mom and dad raise their chicks, until the chick fledges after less than a month. As oriental dwarf kingfishers are not waterproof, they dart down to the surface of the water and spear small fish and amphibians with their sharp beak.

Rating- 13/10 (Contrasting colors are the best colors and nature agrees.)

These birds are loosely grouped by their associations with water, and because I didn't want the family BR to get too big. Keep your eyes peeled- there may be someone here who got a little lost, but we don't discriminate here!

Storm Hawks OC Challenge - February 2023

Hey there folks! Welcome to February's bird OC challenge! I hope the first month of the year treated everyone well, and that you're all ready for a very colourful birb to work with.

I give you all the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca)!

I want to thank @rainymeadows for suggesting this one a while back in the Storm Hawks server.

Found mostly in South-East Asia and the Indian subcontinent, these birds are most common in deciduous and evergreen forest habitats, along with alluvial forests and mangroves (other habitats can be found on the wikipedia page). Despite being called kingfishers, they aren't primarily piscivores, and are usually found eating insects such as mantises and beetles, likely due to their size, as they can weigh an average of nine grams.

The deadline for this month is Sunday the 26th of February, 8pm GMT. As always, rules and extra images, including an optional colour palette are below the cut.

Minimum requirements for drawn entries to be put in the winner's vote are a name, occupation, the character's home/birth Terra and at least one paragraph (or about 100 words) of written backstory.

Minimum requirements for written (i.e. written dossiers without art, or mini-fics for the character) are 500 words including backstory and appearance. Feel free to make a mini-fic out of this challenge, I'll make sure to link it with the final collage as well.

Entrants who are part of the Storm Hawks discord server will have the chance of getting a custom role for the next month! If you’re not part of the discord server, please ask for an invite if you’re interested.

You're not expected to create a character from scratch for this challenge. If you've got an older character concept that's been collecting dust or that you'd like to take the opportunity to revamp, feel free! The goal of this challenge is to inspire people.

Collaborations are allowed! Same rules apply, the only addition is that you and your partner(s) just need to make note of who was responsible for what part of the character

Make sure to tag me in your entries and also DM me with a link to your entry. Tumblr is not always reliable about notifications for this sort of thing, and I don't want to risk missing anyone's entries, so better safe than sorry.

The group collage of entries, and the winner's vote are opt-in. Participation of those parts of this challenge are not mandatory.

The winner of the vote will receive a free sketch piece of their character from me.

Okay okay, so technically Platypus won its bracket, but in keeping things fair I'm putting the runner up, who is an actual bird. Don't worry- platypus will get its own little spotlight post. They're delightfully strange!
