#Hungarian partridge

A couple of grey partridge 🧡

[birdgenetics]

What I'd name every chicken color allele if I got to choose:

This is just for fun. Some gene names are very apt and some are just plain confusing! Some have good names in some regions and poor names in others.

E/Extended Black: Already perfection. Tells you exactly what you are getting.

E^R/Birchen: This one is pretty good but it implies a birch tree, which people typically picture as black and white while gold birchen (which is closer to wild type than silver birchen.) However, some species of birches can have golden bark so maybe those who picture silver birchen when I say "birchen" need to touch up their botanical skills.

e+/Duckwing: Apparently this name is so attrocious fanciers decided to rarely use it! Not good! "Duckwing" is in reference to the wing bay (secondary feathers) on roosters bearing some resemblance to the colored speculum (secondary feathers) on ducks. However, this is not a good distinction as Wheaten and Partridge roosters have identical wing colorations to duckwing. Also, why mention ducks when we are talking about chickens? The relation is tenuous. We could define it based on the down color. How about "Chipmunk"? The resemblance to actual chipmunks is uncanny.

e^Wh Wheaten: I could not improve upon this perfection. Not only does it perfectly match the hens, it matches the chicks, too! They are like the golden wheat.

e^b Partridge: Partridge was named after the down color. And it was perfect. They match Hungarian partridge chicks perfectly. Unfortunately, partridge has been ruined by confusion. Too many people have used "partridge" to describe duckwing (in Europe partridge is duckwing and "Asian Partridge" is partridge.) Plus "partridge" is used to describe concentric lacing which isn't the same as just the partridge gene. I propose "Extended Brown." It is called e^b, not e^p. Plus "Extended Brown" exists in quail and it bears many similarities.

Co/Columbian: Sure why not? No confusing this gene. Lots of people misspell it though. (Columbian, not Colombian.)

Db/Darkbrown/Ginger: Ginger, which is what you call a duckwing bird with the ginger gene, describes the effect perfectly. Unfortunately, Dark Brown, not so much. If the abbreviation was just Gi, it would be so much better.

Pg/Pattern Gene: Yes.

Ml/Melanotic: Melanotic is a melanizer? Novel concept!

Cha/Charcoal: Charcoal is a decent descriptor. But I think "Moorhead" is even better.

Mh/Mahogany: Mahogany is a red enhancer. Mahogany is more of a brown wood. I think "Maroon" is a better descriptor but "Mahogany" sounds more natural so I'll allow it.

Di/Dilute: What does it dilute, exactly? Please be more specific. Oh? It dilutes gold and inhibits black a little? Why not call it "Peach" or something, goodness gracious.

ig/Cream: I've also heard it called "Inhibitor of Gold" but I'll stick to cream, thank you.

Cb/Cb/Cream blond/champagne blond: Perhaps I've hallucinated it but I thought this was called champagne blond, not cream blond. Champagne blond is a good descriptor but there can't be two "creams" so that has got to go.

Si/Silver: As opposed to gold. I like it!

B/Barred: Perfect.

choc/Chocolate: Chocolate is the perfect description, however, I must ask, why is the abreviation so long? "choc"? Really?

I/Dominant White: I mean, its more like codominant white, or something. And it only turns the black white, usually. Maybe "Pyle?"

i^d/Dun: Already perfect, unfortunately people keep calling it "chocolate."

Bl/Blue: I know I've complained about the way "blue" often removes the blue sheen, but I actually do consider it a good description of how the pigment is distributed, and it is used in many species of poultry in the same way.

mo/Mottled: Perfect.

c/Recessive White: Probably the best name anyone has ever concieved.

Lav/Lavender: I think "lavender" is just fine but it seems the APA finds it too flowery and insists on calling it "self blue" even though it is not blue and does a lot more than change the eumelanin to blue. Perhpas taking the approach of calling it "pearl-grey" like continental Europe will have the same effect, but I think it's worth a shot. I guess abbreviating it to "pearl" might help it further, considering how much we Americans like our brevity.

Grey Partridge: Lynn Bogue Hunt.  The species used to be called “Hungarian Partridge” and was introduced as a gamebird into North America.  Hunt was an avid hunter and angler and loved to do game species and hunting scenes, but he shows good depth, good lighting, good composition and biologically accurate poses in this piece.

In Dostoyevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov, I told the ornithologist, Father Zossima tells Alyosha, “All is an Ocean. All flows and connects so powerfully that if, in this life, you manage to become more gracious by even a drop, it is better for every bird, child, and animal your life touches than you will ever know. Start praying to birds in an ecstasy! Cherish this ecstasy, however senseless it may seem to people!” So I do. In a desolate, even life-threatening time, a pair of love-inflamed flickers transpierced and remade me as surely as your chee-ups! and Buddhist bowing and hat have remade the peregrine. I’ll thank wild birds, and you too, forever for that. I trust that you now see why a small photo of the hat, in this time of personal passage and great gratitude, would serve as a kind of holy icon for me. The Cornell ornithologist never answered my letter. And he was wise, it turned out, not to do so: for into the vacuum created by his lack of an answer wild birds flew, and have never stopped answering. Like the forty-three Vaux’s swifts that dropped like dead leaves from an autumn dusk into my cold black chimney, grew still, but then thrummed in their sleep, close by the astonished ear I kept putting to the stove vent, as only eighty-six swift-wings can thrum, nonstop through the night. Or like the small black hole in the ice of a desolate, frozen river at which I happened to be gazing when out popped a lone water ouzel who, after a single deep knee-bend, burst into ecstatic, desolation-defying song. Or like the still-smaller black hole in a leafless, frost-blasted cottonwood against which a heartbroken friend, Max, happened to lean on a Montana winter’s walk, and out of which burst, like bees from a June hive, more than a hundred pygmy nuthatches, bequeathing Max, just that fast, an acceptance of heartbreak from which grace, like honey, began to flow. Or like the fourteen Hungarian partridges my rancher friend Tom flushed from buckbrush after a blizzard in twenty-below, who half circled a gulch so frigid Tom feared they’d freeze in midair, only to slam headfirst, wings tight to their bodies, thirty miles an hour, into a fresh snowdrift a hundred yards above him, ffufuf!fuff!fuff!uf!fuf!uff!, to spend the night tucked in twenty-above powder, bequeathing Tom, like a love poem the next day, fourteen tiny snow caves, the insides of which shone with the cold’s own luminous blue. Or like the lone female loon who mistook a wet, moonlit interstate for water and crash-landed on the truck-grooved pavement of the fast lane; loon to whom I sprinted, as a convoy of eighteen-wheelers roared toward her, throwing my coat over her head so she wouldn’t stab me, pulling her to my chest as I leapt from the concrete; loon who, when she felt this blind liftoff, let out a full, far-northern tremolo that pierced, without stabbing, my coat, ribs, heart, day, life. All is an Ocean, she and Father Zossima and the avian choir keep singing as into black holes in trees, truck routes, river ice, frigid hearts, ecstatic birds keep dropping. Till even alone and in darkness, with no special hat, clothes, or wings to help me fly up and feel it, I find myself caught in the endless act of being loved.

KALISPELL, Mont. — Badge and Lander Busse tromped into the forest behind their house on a snowy Sunday in March, their three hunting dogs in tow. It was in these woods, just outside Glacier National Park, that the teenage boys learned to hunt, fish, dress a deer and pick birdshot from Hungarian partridges. It was also here that the Busse boys grew attuned to the signals of a rapidly warming…

Everything You Need to Know about “Shadow and Bone” on Netflix (*UPDATED: POSSIBLE LANGUAGE OF THORNS ADAPTATION INFO)

 Since it’s recently been confirmed that we’d be getting S&B content in a few days (finally!), I thought I’d compile and summarize as much info as I could to refresh everyone’s memories! Please spread the word/share this post to those who aren’t up to date! (I’ve seen some people online who are worried about how it’s going to turn out, and I’d like to be able to hopefully reassure those people)

Now, there’s a LOT of stuff, so there’s always the chance I missed/forgot something. This post will be split up into categories based on type of info, so here we go! I went back and listened to/watched both of the big live streams (NYCC and the S&B Charity Competition), went on the Grishaverse Reddit, etc. to find as much (extra/bonus) stuff as I could. (If I missed anything/got something wrong, please feel free to leave a comment!)

Update: A lot of people have been asking where it was confirmed we were getting content soon. I found out from one of the update accounts I follow.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

General/Key Info About the Show

-This first season will be adapting both “Shadow and Bone” and what has been dubbed a “Book 0″ (most likely meaning prequel/backstory/set-up) for “Six of Crows” -In relation to the above point, the timelines are being brought together for the show. (Normally in the books, the two series are set two years apart)(We don’t know how exactly or what this means for the story, but I have a really interesting theory that I thought up in relation to this, message me if you’d like to hear it.) -Leigh acknowledges and understands that some of us have doubts and are worried about the show, but she has publicly assured us (numerous times) of how much she loves the show and cast, how well she thinks the crew/writers did in bringing the Grishaverse to life, etc. See a later point below in the Facts/Tidbits section -The first season will have 8, one-hour long episodes -Alina has been made half Shu (half Asian) for the show! Leigh stated that was decided on after she and Eric had a lengthy discussion on Alina’s character. -The main cast (as in confirmed to be in all episodes) is comprised of Jessie Mei Li (as Alina), Archie Renaux (as Mal), Ben Barnes (as the Darkling), Freddy Carter (as Kaz), Amita Suman (as Inej), and Kit Young (as Jesper) -Wylan and Nikolai are NOT in the first season. (Nikolai didn’t appear until the second book, and Leigh confirmed that at this point in the story, the Crows had not met Wylan yet.) -Other cast members include Danielle Galligan (as Nina), Calahan Skogman (as Matthias), Daisy Head (as Genya), Sujaya Dasgupta (as Zoya), Luke Pasqualino (as David), Julian Kostov (as Fedyor), Simon Sears (as Ivan), Zoe Wanamaker (as Baghra), and more! -The Darkling will also be called “General Kirigan” in the show. From what we know, The Darkling will be the “enemy” to Ravka (so in essence, General Kirigan is his alias/fake persona (what he’ll most likely be referred to for most of the show), and no one knows that he’s actually their enemy. (Meaning it’ll most likely a super big moment when they learn their general was actually the Darkling in disguise)). -The show was shot on location in Budapest, Hungary. (And additional filming took place this past fall in Vancouver) -In order, the 8 episodes are titled the following: “A Searing Burst of Light”, “We’re All Someone’s Monster”, “The Making at the Heart of the World”, “Otkazat’sya”, “Show Me Who You Are”, “The Heart is An Arrow”, “The Unsea”, & “No Mourners”.

Other (Fun) Facts/Tidbits About the Show

-Upon seeing Jessie’s audition, Leigh loved her audition/portrayal of Alina so much that she apparently stated that she wanted her to play Alina or she’d be out of the project. She was sent five auditions to watch, Jessie’s was the third, and she said she didn’t bother watching the rest of them. -Leigh stated that she and Eric Heisserer (the creator of the show) said they were on the same page from the first meeting. All other past meetings with producers and companies about possible adaptations had left her with a bad feeling, but she said they’d had the same ideas about inclusion, story, staff, etc. She said she’s loved the respect he’s shown towards the work (and, in a way, to us the fans) -Netflix apparently also has the rights to adapt “The Language of Thorns” , though we’ve gotten no info on that adaptation yet. (UPDATE: I just watched a Leigh Bardugo event from Feb 2019 (a few weeks after the show was first announced, I think): As of  that day, she said that she thought that they were going to use LoT more for "texture” (IMO that might mean worldbuilding?) in the show. And I don’t know if she was talking about LoT specifically because she was very vague, but she said that there were certain things in the show that she thinks readers will be really excited about. Again, this was over a year ago, back when they were still in pre-production and stuff, so don’t take my word for it. Besides this, I couldn’t find anything else relating to a possible LoT adaptation. Maybe they’ll have the stories from LoT appear as actual folk tales told in the show, and that’s the “adaptation”? IDK. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpHnw8Ygw5c&t=1906s)) -Leigh is an exec. producer on the show! I’m no expert, so I don’t know how much say/power she had in the process, but she definitely had some. -There is a RAVKAN edition of the “Shadow and Bone” book that Leigh says makes a cameo in the show! -Jesper’s guns had custom etchings done on them by a Hungarian antique gunsmith! (And they were so good that Leigh and Eric said that it looked like it belonged in a museum--they were also described to be quite heavy!) -Eric Heisserer is the creator of the show, he is an award-winning writer, well known for “Arrival”, “Bird Box”, and more. (If I remember correctly, Leigh said that he’d reached out to her about making the show!) -A DeKappel painting (maybe the one owned by Van Eck?) was confirmed to be in the pilot episode. -Pekka Rollins and Tante Heleen have been confirmed to be in the first season, but their casting has (up to this point) not yet been revealed. -Bo Yul-Bayur is confirmed to be in the show! (Though Kuwei has not) -Leigh will have  a cameo in (I think) Episode 5! She will be wearing a Materialki kefta and will be opening a door, if I remember correctly. -A lot of the crew was also extremely passionate about the project and fans of the books -The “Lives of Saints” book that was published in October is an actual book/prop that is appearing in the show! -I’m personally fine with Mal, but Leigh says that Archie is going to change everyone’s minds with his portrayal! -The costume designer for the show is Wendy Partridge, known for her work on “Thor: The Dark World”, “Pompeii”, and more!  -The composer for the show is Joe Trapanese, known for composing for “The Greatest Showman”, “Straight Outta Compton”, “Lady and the Tramp”, and more! At the NYCC Grishaverse panel, they revealed a little bit of the score (”Grisha Theme”): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFxIEbsHKJA 

Fun Cast/On Set Stories/Facts

-The cast all loves each other, and are all extremely passionate about this show, which is great! (Leigh said that on her second visit to the set, she heard them singing together) -Leigh says that Ben Barnes once snuck up behind her on her first day on set and scared her by whispering “Fine, make me your villain” -Freddy’s favorite Grishaverse book is “Six of Crows”, but most specifically the first line of chapter 2 (”Kaz Brekker didn’t need a reason.”) -Jessie would apparently come to set on some of her days off to support the cast and crew! -Sujaya has stated that her favorite Grishaverse character is Nikolai! (#Zoyalai) -Freddy has become famous/popular with the fandom, one of the reasons being because he often comments on posts/live streams asking something along the lines of “What was it like working with Freddy Carter? xoxo” -Danielle loves Nina and her journey in “King of Scars” -According to a Tweet, Freddy and Leigh said that there had been a scene with “a very pesky gate”--Freddy said that it “wouldn’t be proper to tweet the expletives [he] used that day” and that he thinks he “scarred” Amita and Eric. -Amita’s favorite thing about Inej is her silence, and her favorite Grishaverse book is “Six of Crows” (as of May, where we learned this during a live-stream, she said she’s read it three times and listened to the audiobook twice.) -There was a waffle truck on set on the last day of shooting! -Calahan says that if he could play any other Grishaverse character, he’d want to play Nikolai! -While she did work with the trainer to get more physically fit, Amita learned most of her knife techniques by herself! -Leigh said she cried a lot while on set! (She said there was one scene they were shooting that she has a very clear, vivid memory of writing many years back--based on the context of which she was talking about it, if I had to guess, I’d guess she’s describing the Winter Fete.) -Leigh also said that on one of her first days on set, it was funny/weird to see all the extras in First Army uniforms chilling on their phones, drinking coffee, etc. -One of Calahan’s favorite character dynamics in the books is the dynamic between Kaz and Matthias -There was a moment where Amita was fully in costume and doing amazing, graceful knife work, only to trip and fall when she’d finished. -Amita and Jessie and Sujaya were best friends on set. -Sujaya loved everything about playing Zoya. (Especially her confidence) -Leigh says one of her favorite props was Kaz’s cane, especially because of what it meant to her and the story. -If he could be any Grisha order, Calahan says he’d want to be a Corporalki -Calahan loves Matthias’s journey/arc. -Kit’s favorite Grishaverse book is “Crooked Kingdom”!

Your Downton-y Meals Masterlist

So, you are writing something set in the period between 1900 and 1914. You would like to describe a lavish twelve-course banquet at an upper-class wedding, a breakfast in the Titanic’s second-class dining room, or an era-appropriate snack in an Alpine meadow, but you are not quite sure what menu would convey the right impression? Luckily for you, I have a research addiction and too much time on my hands, as well as pages of notes left over from my research for my Gothic Edwardian f/f!

Here is a list of foods you can use for any particular meal (not at once... usually. Again, twelve-course dinners existed). Note: it’s very much upper/upper-middle class-specific. In other words, as promised, Downton-y. 

Breakfast:

Porridge

Whiting

Devilled kidneys

Cold grouse

Tongue

Ham

Omelette 

Kedgeree

Cold, sliced ptarmigan

Buckwheat cakes (mostly a US thing)

Baked apples

Bacon

Pancakes

Truffled French sausages

Gently-fried cutlets

Lunch:

Grilled lamb’s kidneys

Hungarian-style chicken - i.e. with pepper, paprika and Bechamel sauce.

Teatime:

Ginger biscuits

Egg sandwiches

Cucumber sandwiches

Scones

Petit fours

Buttered muffins

A cake is possible, but it really depends (then again, your characters could be emulating royalty - King Edward a.k.a. Bertie a.k.a. Edward the Caresser had three sorts of cake, including a chocolate one, served at his afternoon teas).

Sandwiches/snacks for travelling:

Ham sandwiches

Tongue sandwiches

Sardine (smoked or oiled) sandwiches

Beef sandwiches

Mutton sandwiches

Anchovy sandwiches

Cream-based fillings: shrimps, lobster, salmon

Salad-based fillings: lettuce, celery, water-cress, radishes

Sweet-based fillings: jams, marmalades, chocolate

Dinner:

Crabs

Oysters

Lobster mousse

Ham in champagne (yes)

Soup, usually consommé or cream-based

Turtle soup

Broiled salmon

Turbot

Poached sole in cream sauce

Broiled cod in parsley sauce

Smoked haddock

Flounder

Asparagus in hollandaise sauce

Partridge

Grouse

Quail

Pheasant

Duck

Veal cutlets

Saddle of lamb

Desserts:

Custards

Cheese

Tarts

Ices

Plum cake

Sponge cake

American strawberry short-cake

Tapioca pudding 

Apple dumpling
