#quail-plover
Text
the quail-plover is a small member of the buttonquail family found in dry regions of africa. the ‘plover’ portion of their name originates not from any close relation, but from the plover-like barred marking visible on the wing in flight. these birds are often found as individuals or in pairs, and primarily live in scrubland habitats.

T.S. Eliot is one of my favorite poets so I'm making an attempt to memorize Ash Wednesday.
VI
Although I do not hope to turn again
Although I do not hope
Although I do not hope to turn
Wavering between the profit and the loss
In this brief transit where the dreams cross
The dreamcrossed twilight between birth and dying
(Bless me father) though I do not wish to wish these things
From the wide window towards the granite shore
The white sails still fly seaward, seaward flying
Unbroken wings
And the lost heart stiffens and rejoices
In the lost lilac and the lost sea voices
And the weak spirit quickens to rebel
For the bent golden-rod and the lost sea smell
Quickens to recover
The cry of quail and the whirling plover
And the blind eye creates
The empty forms between the ivory gates
And smell renews the salt savour of the sandy earth
This is the time of tension between dying and birth
The place of solitude where three dreams cross
Between blue rocks
But when the voices shaken from the yew-tree drift away
Let the other yew be shaken and reply.
Blessèd sister, holy mother, spirit of the fountain, spirit
of the garden,
Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still
Even among these rocks,
Our peace in His will
And even among these rocks
Sister, mother
And spirit of the river, spirit of the sea,
Suffer me not to be separated
And let my cry come unto Thee.

The rôti sans pareil is an insane dish.
"...a bustard stuffed with a turkey stuffed with a goose stuffed with a pheasant stuffed with a chicken stuffed with a duck stuffed with a guinea fowl stuffed with a teal stuffed with a woodcock stuffed with a partridge stuffed with a plover stuffed with a lapwing stuffed with a quail stuffed with a thrush stuffed with a lark stuffed with an ortolan bunting stuffed with a garden warbler stuffed with an olive stuffed with an anchovy stuffed with a single caper, with layers of Lucca chestnuts, force meat and bread stuffing between each bird, stewed in a hermetically sealed pot in a bath of onion, clove, carrots, chopped ham, celery, thyme, parsley, mignonette, salted pork fat, salt, pepper, coriander, garlic, and “other spices,” and slowly cooked over a fire for at least 24 hours."

I cannot draw men I'll be honest, I have little been the little femme drawing princesses in pretty dresses since I was like born
and then like
animals! which occasioanlly come out alright so like uggghhh I'm gonna be drawing the protag and the voices as different birds and also because I LOVE those bird assignments to the voices DEARLY
I still don't know how to use Tumblr properly but like check out the reblogs under for different birds, coz I've done two and like now I have to finish them all you know
(I also haven't TECHNICALLY played slay the princess yet, and i really really want to wait to play some before actually looking, Like the ones I missed were the contrarian and like the nightmare and the thorn and the stranger endings (God the stranger looks just.... yes <3), and like I really wanna experience those ones myself! But I'm also doing an intensive course so don't have the time to go and get all 97 achievements like I want and OH DO I WANT TO)
SO like this gone be a project, some of these are based on gut feelings, silliness all that vibe ANYWAYS
My bird assignments:
The cold -> penguin (he he he get it!) or vultue ( you get it!)
The hunted -> wren bird
I just imagine those little birds you find in shopping centres
The paranoid -> turkey
I don't know it just tickles my brain
The flinching -> robin, quail
( I'll be honest, I don't know if flinching even exists coz I remember seeing him from a post but like its not in the wiki but also you know! Anyways!!!)
The broken -> parakee or canary
(So perfect! I love these very much <3 personally I'm doing parakeet because its like the bird that alot of aussie kids get)
The opportunist -> cuckoo or eygptian plover
( cuckoo coz obvious, and egyptian plover coz its those little birds that sit on croccodiles!)
The contrarian -> goose or puffin or kookaburra
(coz goose, puffins are called clowns and and kookaburras laugh but like also they are petty AF I promise you that)
The skeptic -> owl or little pied cormorant
(Owl coz "who?" and tilt head gives me that thought, and a friend told me of little pied cormorant and like now I'm attached man
The smitten -> flamingo or love bird
(love bird is obvi, the flamingo is because I think of that flamingo from gnomeo and juilet)
The stubborn -> emu or cassowary
(We lost a war to emus... so you know! and the cassowary coz those things are known for killing things)
The knight -> eagle or Black swan
(eagles are associated with honour and black swan is like related to knights in my head Idky)
The cheated -> dove
(I'm like 75% sure that the cheated and the flinching are the same voice but I just haven't played the game so have gotten confused, HOWEVER, cheated is with the "perfect woman" route to my knowledge and my brain associates doves with getting their legs all cut up and me and my nan looking after them so I associate it and like its perfect to my knowledge)
The protag -> crow
( in my brain, first of all because of the bird stuff and the feathers being black, but also because its equal is the shifting mound, which is considered to be death itself, so like the protag being a crow seems perfect because like crows are associated with death)
That technically makes things hard for the narrator then coz like he's obvi a corvid anyways,
narrator -> raven
(I put him as raven, because like thats how he looks and also coz he gives edgar allen poe vibes / derog)
The shifting mound -> peacock
(Its just perfect how can not????)
I don't think of the princess versions as like birds, but I also saw someone saying the shifting mound as a peacock, and like yeah male peacocks are the pretty ones, but like first of all, fuck that and second of all that just means we can go for trans femme shifting mounds, and my brain likes the idea of that idSk it tickles my brain good.
ANYYWAS
check out the reblogs I do idk, I'm enjoying doing my little bird photos

Birds of Dor-lómin
I have decided to make two posts at least for the birds of Hithlum, this one and one for Mithrim and greater Hithlum
As I take inspiration from several European and Asian countries for the environment of Dor-lómin, the species here reflects that however to the best of my ability it is ecologically consistent. Obviously this will not be a complete list and I will go back to it!
And as always requests are open! I’m also always willing to put together ecological world building based on specific real locations!
Flora, fauna, geography and environment of Arda Masterlist
Note: I use Hadorian here to refer to the folk of Hador and of Marach including cultural practices that might predate Hador himself
The eastern mountains and forests around Húrin’s house: hazel grouse, brambling, northern wryneck, common buzzard, Zitting cisticola, grey headed woodpecker, black redstart, grey heron, common quail, great spotted woodpecker, dusky thrush, white winged crossbill, Bohemian waxwing, ring ouzel, tawny owl, common raven
The western border and Firth of Drengist: horned grebe, osprey, black crowned night heron, little gull, black tern, great white pelican, common kingfisher, common starling, little ringed plover, rocky pipit, white tailed eagle
Note: many of the mountain, sea and wetlands birds here are incidental species occurring in Dor-lómin because of migration or other factors. This is also true of some of the species listed for the eastern mountain borders.
The fields and open lands: Greylag goose, corn bunting, little owl, gadwall, mallard duck, wood lark, bearded reedling, hedge warbler, twite, common grasshopper warbler, yellowhammer, greater scaup (migratory), nightjar, stone curlew, barn owl, black headed bunting, whinchat, little grebe, goldfinch, blue throat
Throughout: common wood pigeon, fieldfare, hobby (migratory), common crane, mute swan, house sparrow, merlin, common buzzard (primarily in the Southern mountains), black woodpecker, gryphfalcon
World building notes:
-The people of Hador keep ducks, geese, chickens and pigeons including a species like passenger pigeons. They are the only group of Atani in Beleriand that has a practice of keeping birds primarily for eggs as well as meat and who uses eggs in cooking semi frequently. The Haladin, Bëorians, Drúedain and other groups do eat eggs though not usually chicken eggs and do not often use them as ingredients in baking (although there are some Bëorian dishes that involve bread with quail eggs)
-Hadorian food is a combination of farming and agriculture and hunting and foraging. Grouse, pheasant and wild ducks are sometimes caught for food
-Sea birds are relatively rare but can be seen in western Dor-lómin near the Firth of Drengist and the border to Nevrast. The northern Sindar who live in western Hithlum including western Dor-lómin keep oral records of the presence and appearance of sea birds and mentions of them appear occasionally in song
-Feathers of geese are designs associated with the Hadorian midwinter festival. They are sometimes worn but more commonly embroidered or painted.
-The northern Sindar by the caves of Androth paint birds on the cave and cliff walls, using pigments made from minerals, bark and sometimes shells. Herons, gulls and starling shapes are the most common.
-Random character HC: Sador’s favorite animals to carve are birds especially ground birds. Some of these he even paints or polishes when he has the time.

Phylogeny Guessing Game: Seabirds
Which of the two following birds are more closely related, and which one is the outgroup? Answers under the cut. (Disclaimer: I'm not a bird scientist, just a gal reading Wikipedia, so if the latest science disagrees with any of these, please let me know! Also I am linking to the Wikipedia pages for all of these birds, so you see the relationships as they currently stand for yourself)
Round 1:
A) Quail plover (Ortyxelos meiffrenii) (Nigel Voaden)
B) European herring gull (Larus argentatus) (Andreas Trepte)
C) Short-tailed albatross (Phoebastria albatrus) (James Lloyd)
Round 2:
A) Parakeet auklet (Aethia psittacula) (Art Sowls)
B) European herring gull (Larus argentatus) (Andreas Trepte)
C) Great skua (Stercorarius skua) (Ómar Runólfsson)
Round 3:
A) Parakeet auklet (Aethia psittacula) (Art Sowls)
B) Erect-crested penguin (Eudyptes sclateri) (C00ch)
C) Short-tailed albatross (Phoebastria albatrus) (James Lloyd)
Round 1: A and B, not C
The quail plover (A) and the European herring gull (B) are both in the order Charadriiformes (and maybe both in the suborder Lari depending on who you ask?), while the short-tailed albatross (C) is in the order Procellariiformes.
Round 2: A and C, not B
These are all in the suborder Lari, but the auks (Alcidae) like the parakeet auklet (A) and the skuas (Stercorariidae) like the great skua (C) are closer to each other than they are to gulls like the European herring gull (B) (in Laridae with terns, skimmers, and some other seabirds).
Round 3: B and C, not A
The erect-crested penguin (B) and the short-tailed albatross (C) are both members of Austrodyptornithes, which is the penguins (Sphenisciformes) plus the tube-nosed seabirds (Procellariiformes) like albatrosses, while the parakeet auklet (A) as previously discussed is Charadriiform
thanks for playing my bird game!
#bio#aves#dinosauria#taxonomizing#wiki#there are a lot of funny penguins but i tried to find the funniest one#everyone else gets classy casual standing poses#well the auklets do look like they're about to tumble off that cliff but i think they're fine

Do yu know what other animals were in ancient egypt? I want my oc to have a unique animal and you seem to know a fair amount
I am a well of ridiculous, hyperspecific, only interesting to some trivia lmao.
I would encourage you not to limit yourself to an entirely unique beast- many deities share sacred animals and are still strong individuals. My mind immediately goes to the huge number of feline deities- lions and lionesses in particular- for an example. Additionally, it's nigh impossible for me (with no academic anthropology/egyptology/historic zoology knowledge) to say for certain that particular animals were present in Kemet when they have no documented deities, mummies, or written mentions. I've had to guess for some, deduce by their present day habitats and more or less "timeline" of their species.
It's also important to keep in mind Kemet had contact with other civilizations in other habitats, meaning they were aware of animals not necessarily native to the area. A perfect example is the Hamadryas baboon- they were Nubian animals, but were sacred to both Thoth and Babi, depicted in art, and many mummies of the species have been recovered. A more surprising example is the Syrian brown bear, which was a rare exotic spectacle for the royal elite. There's also the trouble of many species now being extant from the area, meaning they were there but the local population is now extinct- the African sacred ibis is the example my mind comes to first, the waterfowl no longer present along the Nile.
Coincidentally, I've been compiling a list of animals for my own reference to supply a beast or two for the deities that don't have one in tradition.
