Finals: Pretty Birds
Purple Honeycreeper vs Pink Robin
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sources under the cut
Purple Honeycreeper (Cyanerpes caeruleus)
Cyanerpes, from the Ancient Greek 'kuanos' meaning "dark-blue" and 'herpes' meaning "creeper"; caeruleus meaning "dark blue" in Latin
eBird sightings: 29,552; IUCN Redlist Rating: Least Concern
Feeding on nectar is how this honeycreeper developed its bill shape- the bromeliad flowers it prefers are also shaped in this way. These small birds forage together in groups and are described as bold and inquisitive. They will often respond to the sight and sound of predators by mobbing, a behavior where multiple 'prey' animals surround a predator and try to annoy it away from the location.
Pink Robin (Petroica rodinogaster)
Not a European Robin or an American Robin, but a secret, third thing. (An Australian Robin)
eBird sightings: 4,981; IUCN Redlist Rating: Least Concern
The placement of Petroicidae, the family of the Pink Robin, on the songbird family tree is uncertain, but the current theory is that they are an early offshoot of the 'Passerida' parvorder, otherwise known as "advanced songbirds". This would put them outside of a lot of other Australian songbirds, who belong to the 'Corvida' parvorder. (A parvorder is basically as granular as you can get withing the 'Order' classification before you have to call something a 'Family' instead. Taxonomy is complicated)

Storm Hawks Bird OC Challenge - December 2023
Here we go! Bringing on December's bird for the challenge, this month we're looking at the pink robin (Petroica rodinogaster).
Tumblr media
Native to southeastern Australia, these birds are surprisingly not all that closely related to european or american robins. Taxonomical research has placed them in the Passerida group of songbirds. The genus name 'petroica' comes from the ancient greek words for 'stone' and 'house', and the species name 'rodinogaster' derives from the words for 'pink' and 'belly'.
The loose deadline this month is Sunday the 31st of December, but because of how busy this month gets for everyone I'm not very strict about it.
Rules (also loose) 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.
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 (possible) winner’s vote are opt-in. Participation of those parts of this challenge are not mandatory.

The pink robin (Petroica rodinogaster) is native to south-eastern Australia. Unlike its European relatives, it is quite small in size, measuring about 13.5 cm long

The pink robin (Petroica rodinogaster) is a small passerine bird native to southeastern Australia. Its natural habitats are cool temperate forests of far southeastern Australia. Like many brightly coloured robins of the family Petroicidae, it is sexually dimorphic. Measuring 13.5 cm (5.3 in) in length, the robin has a small, thin, black bill, and dark brown eyes and legs. The male has a distinctive white forehead spot and pink breast, with grey-black upperparts, wings and tail. The belly is white. The female has grey-brown plumage. The position of the pink robin and its Australian relatives on the passerine family tree is unclear; the Petroicidae are not closely related to either the European or American robins, but appear to be an early offshoot of the Passerida group of songbirds.
