Mentioned in our introductory post, the Common Bronzewing!
The common bronzewing, (Phaps chalcoptera) native to Australia, is a very interesting bird, with spectacular iridescence on the wings. Like all pigeons, they're round and build absolutely terrible nests. Interestingly, the females do not lose their iridescent wings in any way, with barely any differences in sexual dimorphism, really.

every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in allopreening (preening between different species)
and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place— due to their superior sense of smell— while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger
and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!
yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!

Hi I just learnt that grebe the bird existed and I am intrigued do you have any knowledge to drop on the dudes
BOY DO I! grebes are my favorite waterfowl!
they're specialist divers and fish hunters, and they're a pretty wide group with a LOT of species!
and they're all freaks. every single one of them.
they're most closely related to FLAMINGOS, of all things, which is why their feet are so weird! they evolved completely separate from other waterfowl like ducks and geese, so they did the flipper thing totally backwards.
this is going to be a theme, nothing these birds do is normal.
unlike other specialist diving birds (coughcough LOONS coughcough), they aren't totally incompetent on land! just, again. total freaks about it.
aaagh I love them so much I might actually explode
also they swim like frogs, babies can dive pretty much immediately after hatching, and adults can minutely adjust their buoyancy in the water at will like a fucking submarine. you just can't make any of this shit up.
weirdest fucking bird 100/10

concept sketch for a guardians of ga’hoole Oc I’ve had floating around in my head
they were hatched on a solar eclipse, rather than a lunar eclipse. some weird effects stemmed from it - with the disc of their face becoming silvery-white, rather than the face itself like traditional nyrolian owls. Their parents had decided to follow the naming tradition anyways, figuring - they were born on an eclipse, even if it wasn’t a lunar eclipse, so they should follow the same naming convention.
Haven’t fully fleshed out this guy yet but I’ll post more later maybe
Drawing is inspired by the solar eclipse yesterday yayyyy

im sorry seals molt? my association with that word is insects so i am confused and intrigued
They do! I’d say most species of animals sloughs off “old” parts of their bodies at some point of their lives in some capacity. The word “molting” is used as a catch-all term for this process, although exactly what body part they shed and how they do it varies from animal to animal. Arthropods grow an entire new exoskeleton and shed the old one, but for most other animals, this process only involves shedding the outermost layer of their bodies, the pelage and/or their first layer of skin. Reptiles are quite famous for this because they sometimes manage to come out of their old skins and leave them almost fully intact as if they were kigurumi pajamas:
Mammals tend to mostly only shed fur or hair, growing thicker fur during colder months and losing it in favor of shorter fur during warmer months. How obvious this is depends on the climate, though. It’s quite perceptible in mammals that live in the arctic whose fur changes color depending on the season:
But even the difference between the summer coats and winter coats of domestic dogs can be palpable if you live in places with colder climates!
(I’m quite fascinated by this because I was born and raised in a tropical country and my dogs look the same all year round heh)
But back to the seals. Pinnipeds don’t really use their fur to keep warm like other mammals do, but they still have it, and they have to shed their old coats and grow new ones accordingly, which they do once a year!
In elephant seals, this process is so sudden and so extreme it’s called catastrophic molting. They don’t only lose their fur, but also a layer of dead skin all at once and this forces them to stay on land for a full month without swimming (and therefore, without hunting and eating) until the process is fully done. Because molting requires redirecting blood flow towards the skin instead of to their vital organs as usual, if they swam in the cold waters they’re usually accustomed to while molting, they’d freeze!
Bonus fun fact: despite having lost their fur during the evolution process, cetaceans like whales and dolphins also go through a molting process where they lose a layer of dead skin, which they scrape off by rubbing against rocks and rolling on sand banks.
It’s been recently discovered (as of 2020!) that the reason whales migrate annually from arctic waters to tropical waters is the exact same reason elephant seals spend a month on land: to molt! It’s much easier for a whale to keep warm while shedding its skin in warm waters than it is in cold waters.

Bigeye houndshark - Lago omanensis
Least concern
The bigeye houndshark lives in deep waters from the western Indian Ocean, southwestern India, and the Red Sea. It feeds on other bony fishes and bottom creatures. They are named for their eyes, which are much larger in comparison to other hound sharks. They are brownish-gray in color, with long bodies.

Nicobar pigeon - Caolenas nicobarica
Near threatened
The nicobar pigeon lives on the Andaman and Nicobar islands in India, east through the Malay archipelago to the Solomons and Palau. They consume primarily seeds, fruit, buds, and occasionally insects. These birds are the closest living relative to the dodo. They are grayish-blue in color, with an iridescent body in many different colors.
They are primarily threatened by hunting and deforestation.

Indian gray mongoose - Herpestes edwardsi
Least concern
The Indian gray mongoose is a species of mongoose living in Turkey, the Arabian Peninsula, India, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. They are omnivores, opportunistic hunters who consume rats, mice, lizards, snakes, and beetles, as well as fruit, berries, and roots. Their bodies contain glycoprotein, which bonds to venom when they are bitten in order to reduce the effects.
They have a grayish coat, with lighter hairs dispersed over a darker base color. They have a brown underbelly and darker paws.

take a picture I need proof. both of this event and that you have two eyes.
the only actual side order spoiler I’ve seen is that dedf1sh is homophobic or something and also one room that had rainworld neurons in it or something and I’m grateful for that. haven’t had time to play it yet though so woo.
