Marchirp day 26: Rainforest. Rainforests were 4th grade me's favorite biome, and the toco toucan (the biggest toucan) was my favorite bird (red eyed treefrog was my favorite frog/animal but that's a different art challenge).
[Image ID: a toucan, a black bird with an orange beak the same length as its body, with its head turned upward sitting at the top of a tree on a partly cloudy day. End ID]

I heard you all like works in progress?
Again, I won't be able to post the finished pieces of this project for probably another year, but these little glimpses into the stages for some of the birds might help tide you over. This is, or will be, a Black Drongo - I'd say it's around 50% complete at this point.

earth fact time. SOME GOOD NEWS!!! the spix's little blue macaw, which has been extinct in the wild for 22 years, have now come back into their home in brazil!
in 2022, 52 captive-bred birds were released back into the wild! they're one of the rarest birds in the world, with only 250 or so in captivity. as of now, the macaws are still alive in the wild and doing well! they also return daily to the spix's macaw release centre to visit their captive flockmates.
if you think they look familiar, they're the same species as blu from the movie rio.
