How do Rito's kiss? Or is there an alternative way they show affection?
Tch - more Hylian ignorance, I see.
Thankfully Rito don't show affection in the same way as you featherless mammels do, with your disgusting exchange of bodily fluids slapping your fleshy mouth-bits together - ugh it makes me nauseous to think about.
We Rito are far more hygenic. There's four main ways that us birdfolk show affection.
Tumblr media
I supose the closest thing to your... kissing, would be bobbing. This is where a bonded Rito couple touch the sides of their beaks together and brush them up and down. Dispite common misconception, our beaks contain a network of sensitive nerves - since Rito do not have a phenominal sense of taste like many species, we rely on our beaks being sensitive to textures in foods to let us know they are safe to eat. Rubbing beaks together in this way stimuates those nerves in a way that feels plesent to the recipricants.
Another way is tapping. This is where two Rito bump their foreheads gently together. Again, we have a significant amount of nerve endings in the tip of our foreheads to detect small changes in air pressure and tempreture while flying - it can really disorient a Rito to be hit in that particular spot. Tapping forehead together sends a serise of gentle vibrations against the skull that also feels plesent. This is something that not just bonded couples do, but newly courting Rito also.
Of course there's also preening. While grooming may be a personal task to Hylians - it's a very communal activity for us. Preening is a very time consuming task and it's significantly easier and faster to preen ones companions and to allow them to preen you in return rather than struggling to bend into difficult positions to preen oneself. However, its considered a sign of fondness to preen the small feathers around ones neck or crest - this is an area that one should only preen if they are considered a close friend or family member of the recipricant.
Finally there's harmonizing. Obviously singing is a large part of Rito culture, even if I don't see the joy in it much myself. A widely used way to show affection is to match the harmony of somebodies singing.
Each of these techniques is a traditional way of showing affection to a partner, a loved one, a family member or a friend, and has the same effect as...ugh, kissing, in releasing endorphins in the brain.

Bless this account, i hope you dont mind me keeping this in mind when writing stuff with my oc x Revali story?
Why is it that the rito prefer hammocks over traditional beds? I feel like that would do numbers on your back over time, and how would the village elder use one? wouldn't the ropes holding it snap under his weight?
'Traditional beds' - you mean Hylian beds. Hammocks are traditional Rito beds - much like pools of heated water are traditional Zora beds, and rock nests are traditional Goron beds. Just because you're a Hylian and something is traditional and normal to you, doesn't mean that it's traditional and normal to everyone.
I also find it incredibly insensitive of you to suggest that the beloved Village Elder has a weight problem because of his sizing.
Kanelli might be larger than the average Rito, but us Rito have hollow bones and small internal organs which makes us light enough to remain in the air for flight. Dispite his size, he likely weighs no more than the typical Hylian.
Tumblr media
I shouldn't have to waste my time educating you Hylians on Rito culture when it's obvious none of you have the slightest interest in anyone other than yourselves. However, I am feeling generous today.
Unlike Hylians, Rito sleep on their fronts, a habbit from way back in the egg, then in the nest as a chick. It preserves heat and stops our tailfeathers from being crushed under us.
Tumblr media
Trying to sleep on a hard, flat surface like a Hylian bed does nothing good for our postures. With our legs and wings underneith us while we sleep, we need a surface that can accomodate shape.
Tumblr media
Hammocks are also efficint for a variety of reasons. In Hebra as you know the weather is very cold and wet, we experience heavy rains several times a year and due to our open plan living, everything inside of our nests gets wet. Hammocks are thin and dry quickly, thus aren't at risk of growing mould or spores. Their lightweight material also stops us from overheating with our thick feathers, whereas a Hylian bed is built to trap in the heat.
Overall, Hammocks are the superior bedding choice for a number of reasons when it comes to Rito lifestyle. Hylians are simply too small-minded to see past their own noses and think about our differences and how they may impact our ways of life.

You all know I love 'Revali wasn't an adult yet because of the spots on his cheeks' (and the fact we all collectively pretend to be blind to Kass ahahaha.)
Consider instead as another concept - Rito grow out of their markings around adolecence. Painting them back on is the equivalent of humans wearing makeup to look younger/more attractive.
Birds are attracted by bright colours so giving yourself bright red blush and neon eyeliner makes sense for a Rito trying to make themselves pretty. (The only part of Revali that is yellow is his eyebrows, you cannot tell me he doesn't dye/paint them like that as a beauty choice.)
I think like - Rito Village seems pretty Gendered ™ in the sense that the NPCs talk about all the women singing and the men shooting.
However Kass is a man and his whole career is singing. He isn't bound by gender standards - he is built like a fridge and is a father of five but also wears makeup and sings songs and looks pretty.
Meanwhile Revali is The Standard for men in Rito Village to the point they idolise raising their little boys to be just like him. However he also wears makeup to look pretty. He's petite and dainty and colourful - and also a deadly war machine who could kill you with his eyes closed.
I just....I really like this. Pretty bois.

I feel like Sksw link would really like revali (and the rito in general) they would remind him of the loftwings (revali would probably love the adoration as well)
