Wildlife, Birds threatened, terns, unique model made in France, wall decoration, digital art, photo montage.

**************************

Gift for everyone, and for tern lovers.

**************************

𝟏) 𝐒𝐔𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐅𝐁

This creation is a unique piece like everything I create and it is a gift idea for those who appreciate birds.

To better enhance it, I did a search on the Web a solution likely to agree; you can discover my choice on the first image that appears.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝:

Nature wooden frame - color: walnut

with Backing Boards for photo A4 mat: 8.26 x 11.69 inches (21 x 29.7 cm)

I introduced the digital montage inside to give you an idea of the rendering.

Of course this is only a suggestion, because you have to take into account your existing decoration, the framing colors that suit you, their material, their shape and the budget you want to devote to it.

In short, the choice is yours, you have to take this suggestion as the beginning of a track to follow.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐃 The other reason is that I do not manufacture frames and it's not my job; I would have to charge you fees that are not mine.

However I can give you the links allowing you to find the frame that is part of the suggested presentation.

The goal is to show you that everything can be used as decoration in an entry, a living room, a library, a dining room or a bedroom. It will be a work of art at a reasonable price, which you can offer, offer yourself, whether you are a collector or not.

**************************

𝟐) 𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞

View 2 shows you the item delivered.

You see how easy it is to highlight a beautiful photo print if you compare the first 2 views; and yet they are the same images; it's up to you to improve them in your own way.

**************************

𝟑) 𝐏𝐫e𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Several neighboring species are threatened with extinction; among them : - the tern nereis (sterna nereis) - the diamond tern (sterna sumatrana) - Roseate Tern (sterna dugalli).

In this photo montage, I especially wanted to highlight the colors of these birds, which, we can see on the stamps are quite similar.

It starts with editing with photo retouching.

Then, this montage will be printed on high quality photo paper (280 g per m2) and immediate drying.

The triptych will be pasted thanks to a protective bag so that it does not risk anything.

The other views represent this one front, back and details of the composition. All will be put in a plastic bag, then in a rigid cardboard envelope to be sent to you by registered mail with delivery against signature.

If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Philatelic details: Stamps issued by New Caledonia in 2009 offset edition - multicolored - serrated 13 x 13 1/4 The three stamps are printed standing. Listed € 6 in the 2010 catalog

Weight of the cardboard envelope: 90 g

a guide to wing and feather language in wingfic

while losing control over his wings/feathers is a very fun trope to put cas in because it serves as a window for less outwardly emotive character, i often see actions that just don’t align with how birds emote. it’s fiction and do whatever you want! but if you want to make cas more birdlike, read up. here’s some thoughts on wings, feathers, and emotions, but if you want examples, Cinderwings by @bendingsignpost does a phenomenal job of capturing emotions via wings and a lot of the other intricacies in aerial hunts/fights. i could talk ages about how peregrines restrain their dives to drive starling flocks down, but this post is long enough.

i have to preface first that the emotions birds show though their feathers are limited. scientists and responsible animal trainers avoid anthropomorphizing avian behavior, which means the signals that we get from birds don’t mirror to complex emotions like jealousy/bitterness/embarrassment and are more like happy/sad/angry. obviously your characters have a different emotional range and express that physically via their wings. also, i’m basing this mostly off of raptorial body language. some of this is universal and applies to parrots/psittacines as well, but i’m not aware of where those boundaries lie

my biggest pet peeve is when authors write a character unknowingly fluffing or moving their wings. are you aware that you’ve moved your arms? do you notice when your hair blows in the wind? birds have excellent control over their feathers. primary wing feathers are rooted in ligaments that birds can control. on the upstroke, feathers rotate slightly to create slots in the wing that allow air to flow through better, then return them to a flattened position to create the most lift on a downstroke. birds likely don’t make that flight feather rotation choice consciously, but they’re definitely gonna know that they’re moving their wings.

negative emotions—angered, alarmed, threatened

as it relates to emotion, wings flare when surprised or threatened and raise up when alarmed. wing feathers may spread slightly in those positions, but for the most part the wings flare, not feathers. feather control is mostly about rotation and different degrees of moving in/out, which is more subconscious

consider raised wings in a threat position: you might describe feathers as splayed out, but once the wings are in full extension, the feathers cannot flare further. if you want to express that, you might use language about the tension in the line of their wings, “strain”, or “quiver.”

feathers on a raptor’s nape or hackles will rise when they feel any of the above emotions. this might translate well into the smaller feathers where the wing joins the back. in birds, those back feathers only rise after they’ve signaled their distress via nape/hackle feathers and it’s been fully escalated to a threat.

mixed—fluffing up: contentment/safety, cold, threatened

birds will fluff their feathers for a mix of positive and negative reasons. the differences are distinguished by other factors

the whole fluffing up when embarrassed that i see in wingfic probably comes from people seeing a bird rouse out of context, which is when a bird lifts feathers across their whole body and shakes them out. it looks a little like how we hunch our shoulders in embarrassment since in the process, birds will beat their wings against their bodies while they’re still folded. however, rousing is a sign of contentment and safety (they feel safe enough to make the noise associated with rousing)—NOT the discomfort that comes with embarrassment.

birds will also fluff up when they’re cold in order to trap warm air in their feathers. flight feathers aren’t usually involved in this since there’s no down there, but coverts on the wing may rise. this is represented pretty well in fic.

birds threatened or threatening others will puff up their feathers to make themselves look bigger. you’ll get other cues though, and fluffing isn’t a surefire lead in to a threat display so you’ll want to look for wing flaring.

positive emotions—contentment/safety, preening

birds will stretch their wings when they’re content and feeling safe! but they don’t really open them like in flight. stretching on birds looks like them pointing the wing downwards rather than parallel with the ground. their shoulders will drop with the outstretched wing as well, so they look like they’re about to tip over.

rousing is another indicator of positive emotions (covered above). theres a couple of other indicators of happiness but they’re not really wing/feather motions

ah. the holy grail and source of so many rated E fics. birds preen when they’re feeling safe and comfortable. they have to contort themselves, and aren’t able to keep as vigilant of a look out when they have their head dipped under their wings. allopreening is when one bird preens another, and is most often exhibited in flocking birds. it’s very uncommon for mates of solitary birds to allopreen. this is an opportunity to work something avian into your character’s culture. however, the feathers of birds without partners are just as well kept as birds with partners.

not gonna go too far into this one. sex up your oil (uropygial) glands as much as you want on your characters but the oil secreted is more waxy than you think. that shit is not olive oil. it is a wax

Again, this is a nice presentation: I concocted a montage with albatrosses in almost all postures, with a blue sky that reminds of a painting.

I have provided a CUSTOM location for this block of 4 stamps which represents the Amsterdam albatross in scenes of life.

This stamp block is new, without hinge, format 190 x 80 and Serrated.

It is a unique photo montage designed by computer on which I fixed the block of stamps of the TAAF of 2010.

The final version appears in the first view, it is the item for sale, with a framing proposal in the background.

The following views show mounting details and the front and back block.Finally the last one reveals the choice of JFB if you want to put this creation under frame.
