Yesterday I found a baby grackle on the ground, I started to feed him mealworms and i immediately started calling every animal rescue/ sanctuary within a thirty mile radius none of them were willing to take him in and one recommended I give him some wet cat food.

So until he can fly away and be his own grackle he’s staying, I nicknamed him arson

Eostrix & Petrel (and bonus)

Eostrix

Girl was just living her life and had friends and a job, and then Rayonnant showed up and now she's in a cell. god damn it rayonnant.

also fuck it IDA Ruby officially exists and has a ref. their name is grackle. I don't know why that one is the name that stuck but anyway

Grackle and Eostrix aren't biologically related, but they've been together so long they do kinda think of each other as their sibling. Grackle's present whereabouts and status are unknown to Eostrix, and she really, really hopes they're safe. She has no idea if Rayonnant knew about them at all.

Eostrix knew Baroque had gone looking for Rayonnant, and tried to stop him, but of course he went anyway. And then he vanished.

In trying to look for him a day or so later, she then ran into Rayonnant herself, who somehow knew about Petrel and the vials of positivity that they have. Eostrix played dumb. she was too freaked out to be good at it though so Rayonnant took her for 'interrogation.' At this point she thinks he's keeping her around out of spite, though she doesn't know for sure. She's certainly not enjoying being stuck here.

Petrel

They're doing their best to hide, and to find someone somewhere who can help them create more positivity from the one* vial they have, but hasn't had any luck yet.

*they have two vials, like I said before, but they'll only let one of them be experimented with.

They're trying to look for Baroque and Eostrix, too, but isn't having much luck. And they're pretty sure that means that they're with Rayonnant. Baroque, at least, they're certain about.

She ended up in Eostrix and Grackle's AU entirely by accident, while trying to leave her own. She had no idea how she got there until much, much later, when trying to hide from Rayonnant and learning how to reliably hop between AUs.

With no idea where to even start to look for help, Petrel's really just wandering at this point. Hoping that she'll find someone, eventually. Someone that's not Rayonnant or his team. please. please not them.

Grackle

if fantasy au, why not have elf? so here. elf. they are 6'3'' in case you were wondering.

also if original name 'ruby' why not make very red?

listen i slapped them together before i had to leave for a 9 hour shift okay some colors might be a little wonky

They are alive, somewhere. They've been looking for Eostrix and their friends, but they've found nothing whatsoever. They can only hope that means they're all safe. Unfortunately Petrel's the only one who's even remotely safe right now.

Bruh the baby Grackle I'm taking care of right now (family does some wildlife rehab for those who aren't aware) is being such an absolute spaz. Little guy literally yeeted themselves right into the chicken that's allowed to roam the room. Poor Tiny was soooo confused. 🤣 My only regret is not being able to record it.

Also literally right as I was typing the tags for this the Grackle startled Tiny so much he made a noise. XD

they weren't lying when they said a walk will fix your mental health

This week,

the Blue Jay, Grosbeak and Oriole babies have started to come out, creating a beautifully chaotic symphony and fun behavior to watch. All babies seem to love the pond, so it is worth checking out the stream.

I hope you enjoy the fluffy cuteness of these baby birds. (species names in ALT text)

Something I have seen in a few fics and is very near to my heart. Tim Drake Has Birds. Not just any birds, but a gaggle of Crows and Ravens and others. That's what everyone says. But what if he had *more*.

Sure it starts with him befriending 4 or 5 ravens/crows but both are smart kinds of birds and very social as well. They seek out others to play with after all. So if Tim was kind to them and fed them and even helped one of them heal after it got a broken wing (the others led Tim to their injured friend while screaming) then they would certainly spread news to other birds that Tim is safe and a friend. Plus, when any of those birds he befriended has kids? They will teach their babies that Tim is Kind and Trustworthy.

Eventually Tim's flock spreads from just being Crows and Ravens to adding pigeons and grackles and Sparrows and even a few blue Jay's and a couple owls! After all, if Tim starts befriending them about the time (or even before) he starts stalking the family by the Time he's Robin he's gunna have So Many Birds. Tim does his best to hide this from the other Bats because he thinks they will try to make him get rid of them like the one time his parents found him petting a Raven in the backyard.

Tim hides his birds from everyone the best he can and has taught some of them helpful tricks in the field that he can only use when alone. Only a handful can do them, but a handful is more than enough. Such commands are Follow That Person, Bring Me That, Poop On That Person, and other such things. Only three of them understand his favorite trick. Take This Match, Strike It, And Drop It On What I Point At. Sometimes he lights goons on fire, sometimes he lights dumpsters on fire. Either way, a perfect distraction for hoards of goons.

Many of them also have tiny harnesses that can't be seen through their feathers that have cameras on them. Sometimes Tim will have a bird follow a Rouge around for a while because really, who would notice of a specific bird is following them?

The three that are best trained and are totally not Tim's favorites, are the three he has in his civilian identity as well. He only debuted his "pets" are he took over as CEO of WE. On his right shoulder rides a *well* above average size Raven named Huggin and on his left is an equally massive Raven named Munnin. Yes, he did name them after Odin's two ravens from mythology. The last one does not come to work with him like Huggin and Munnin, but stays at home and is in fact part of Tim's Home Security. Guinevere the Agressive Swan. She will attack anyone and everyone that isn't Tim and the moment she spots a person who Shouldn't Be There, she is out for *blood*. The only people she tolerates are Brenard, Kon, Cassie, and Bart. Even Damian with his mastery of animals will get attacked by her.

That's such a cute AU! I want to add an that, because Tim is taking care of pigeons, their lifespan increases as well (idk much about other birds so maybe them too). Pigeons were originally domesticated animals. They live 1-2 years in the wild and up to 15 as a pet.

I would also love to see the ravens intimidate the hell out of other people at Tim's work. The birds are just staring intensely at someone Tim doesn't like as they try to get through a meeting. It's an effective tool for the CEO to get what he wants or needs from opponents (ravens are adorable, but huge. I'd be terrified if one just kept staring at me visibly prepared to attack).
