“I heard a bird sing in the dark of December. A magical thing and sweet to remember. "We are nearer to Spring than we were in September," I heard a bird sing in the dark of December.”

You seem to be quite the bird fanatic, mind telling us what is your favourite kind of bird? :3

Oh sh- *tries to run away and trips over my own feet*

Literally an impossible question for me to answer! I can tell you some of my favorite species from different groups however! Bout to find out how many images I can put in one ask oof

Every bird is in a different group (except the bronzewing and mourning dove those are both pigeon species I believe)

Splendid Fairy Wren, Common Bronzewing, African Fish Eagle

Toco Toucan, Red Winged Blackbird, Rose Breasted Grosbeak

White Breasted Nuthatch, Black Capped Chickadee, Blue Jay

Great Spotted Woodpecker, Mourning Dove, California Quail,

Strawberry Finch (Red Avadavat), Sandhill Crane

Nene, Barred Owl

I cannot choose a favorite species, nor a favorite kind! I love too many of them! They all have their special place in the world and my heart. Some are favorites that I see frequently, they are pretty or I love their songs, or some live across the world and maybe one day I get to see one in real life :)

Thank you for the ask! Have a lovely day!

#wren askbox #birds #a lot of birds #lots of my favorites here :)#these will probably pop up in some drawn asks I might get #you've already seen 3 #you know who has really awesome bird art?#elliwoods #also art i did of one of these birds was selected to be printed for a game #but you shant know because my name is attached to the art #i use a bird id app for identifying new songs cause im still learning #theres an indigo bunting hanging around my yard singing but i havent heard him yet #i can recognize quite a few bird songs though without using the app

look who’s our b'day boy today 🥺;; my baby, my angel, my star, he really tried to look angry, but he ended up looking like the “🥺” emoji 😭🌸🥺🌈✨🦊🧚🏼‍♂️🍒

#junnie 🦊#i love him so much it hurts 😞💘#happy yeonjun day everyone 💞#i fell in love head first from the moment i saw him in runaway mv </3 no one’s surprised bdfhghdgh #he’s chaotic and all (literally my polar opposite) but he’ll always be my kpop comfort boy 🥺💗#junnie has made me smile and laugh in times i thought i was incapable of doing so :(#i also re-watch his old vlives because i’m in love with him and watching him gives me so much peace and happiness </3 #more than often i feel the urge to just go *nom nom* but sometimes i simply want to throw my hands at him... let’s not talk about that tho #i want to be all wholesome and lovey-dovey today #if my heart is imagined as a large home... i’d say yeonjun is that guy who’s everywhere. like; he has never stayed in a specific place #+ since the day he entered. why? well... the love i hold for him is kind of like a rushing river from the mountains.#however i’d say that the water is gentle despite it’s rush to meet the sea or maybe another river.#he’s the type of person who gets more and more lovable as you get to know about him 🥰#and the river in my heart reaches the nooks and crannies i didn’t know existed in the first place...#loving him is like walking barefoot on the grass and bathing in the early rays of the morning sun #the calming sound of the river flowing by and some unknown bird singing sweetly can also be heard #i hope he is always happy. no matter what happens. i hope he knows that he is so so loved.#i wish i could hug him and tell him how much he means to me ☹️#choi yeonjun... you’re light years away from what people think/say about you.#i love him :(#didn’t wanna cry but is anyone even mildly surprised?

thinking and always rotating in my brain the way sehhinah defines a soul as ‘what makes you identifiable to yourself’………

just!!!!! how do i be normal about this!!!!!!??!! ever?????!!!!!!!!!

#sehhinah #soulstuff #the stars that rise at dawn #not to mention how that’s not mentioned ever as a well known thing people know it’s #what lucifer identifies it as after eliya makes them define it in a way that implies….no one has asked before or thinks about this? ever?#(tamar talks like she’s casually heard it plenty but well i guess she HAS)#yenatru or the theurgists in Birds don’t ever try and define it. only eliya! !!!#coal sings

Re: music asks?

#34. I KNOW how important seasonal tidings are to both of us

34. pick one of your favorite bands/artists and choose a song by them that you associate with each season

This has by far been the most fun question of the music asks, I'll go with Lady Lamb!! She uses a lot of nature metaphors, so the challenge is pretty apt, and she's probably my all-time favourite artist.

Also as I compiled this it hit me that these four songs could be read as a narrative of one relationship from its beginning to its end over the course of a year. They're obviously not intended this way because they're from all different albums, but it works!

Spring: Crane Your Neck

"I pressed my ear against your back not even a week after we met / And I felt your heartbeat fall like raindrops in a bucket [...] But there's a hunger under my skin and its gripping at my bones / There's a hunger like a lion's and it's ripping right through my bones"

Summer: Crater Lake

"Let's be one another's present tense / We'll go to the mountain by the lake, we'll undress / We'll swim and we'll swim until the sun settles to sleep / We'll build us a fire of a flame so deep"

Fall: Vena Cava

"And in your arms, I sleep so deeply / But I can feel how you will leave me / Even as you are still sitting here / Even as your mug of coffee steams / I can feel how the seams of your ribs will separate from the seams of my ribs / I know already how much TV will fail to comfort me in your absence"

Winter: Bird Balloons

"It was so cold you could see both sets of ribs almost escaping your skin / To fly south, south until the springtime / Your hips stood out like confidence / You were naked as a newborn in the snow, and you wanted it so / That's precisely how you wanted it"

#the way lady lamb sings about love........#it just gets me every time every song #I know crater lake and bird balloons are the only songs on here that seem to indicate seasons #but crane your neck reminds me of spring because it's about a new relationship that's building and growing #it's about missing someone but with the sense that you'll be with them soon #which reminds me of spring rebirth and anticipation etc #and by the same token vena cava is about a relationship that you know is coming to its close #but isn't quite ended #the way that you would watch the leaves fall and the light diminish and the weather get colder and know the season is changing #I am begging everybody to listen to lady lamb - I have never in my life heard anybody sing about love the way she does #it just runs the entire spectrum of visceral human emotion #lady lamb

can you hear me? i cannot hear you.... and every song i thought i knew; i've been deafened to... and there's no one left to sing to

breaks. my. heart.

It's like taking this little poem 👇 and saying: actually, there won't be any singing. there is no one left to sing to; there is no more song

In the dark times / Will there also be singing? / Yes, there will also be singing. / About the dark times. - Bertolt Brecht

#florence and the machine #florence welch #i sometimes picture a songbird that has suddenly stopped hearing calls from other birds....#i mean birds sing to signal things to each other.... but now there is nobody left to sing to... 😔#plus in the recent past there have been *last living individuals* of certain bird species... the sole survivors of their species !song!#who had continued singing that song in hopes of hearing it back... in hopes of not being alone...#like imagine being the last speaker of your first language... and this is the only language you will ever be able to speak in your life #anyway there was this last living male bird that got really excited when he heard a scientist play !his bird call! on a voice recording #the bird flew back to where the song was coming from... thinking - for a moment - that he wasn't alone... :(((#it was a recording of the bird's own performance.... there was no one left to sing to... and the recording was made to be archived #mt #mp
