#bare-throated bellbird

[nature-nerd-sarah]

Ever heard the call of a Bare-throated Bellbird?

This one got buried in my inbox below all the submissions on my Dungeon Meshi sideblog, but

That's one funky-looking songbird!

[jollysunflora]

that was not the sound i expected

What animal looks like it would screm the loudest

the bare-throated bellbird is so loud that it can cause permanent damage to human hearing at close range!

and they absolutely look like it.

Battle Royale

haven't I seen you here before? (B-1)

For birds who have been in polls before on tumblr. Some were high-profile, some were low-profile, but they came up in the search results regardless.

Bare-Throated Bellbird (Procnias nudicollis)

Jesus fucking christ

VERSUS

Giant Petrel (genus Macronectes)

They’re very violent hyper aggressive predatory birds that will kill a seal and dance on its dead body (this is called sealmaster posture) to show everybody else that nobody can do what this bird can do. They love to batter and drown other birds to death—including albatrosses! They’re often dyed red with the blood of their enemies. There is something wrong with them.

some pigeon concepts for ancient cities and nether bastions!

ancient city pigeons are based on pouters + bare throated bellbirds, while bastion pigeons are a phoenix inspired capuchin/frillback combo

the colors on the pouter pigeon are NOT final i just dunno exactly what to do

Some Rahi Headcanons

When whichever Makuta responsible for the Klakk was making them, they were based at least partially on data about the bare-throated bellbird that the Great Beings had left in their database.

Krakua has at least considered trying to obtain either a bellbird or a Klakk as a pet, so he could have portable noise-makers for his sonic powers to amplify and direct on short notice.

Stimboard for either the three-wattled bellbird, white bellbird, bare-throated bellbird or the bearded bellbird?

It's up! Let me know if you'd like anything switched around :D

SCREAM!

[bestbeeking]

yeah

who knows, maybe we’d even see some bare throated bellbirds

have you seen a real, physical least bittern ever before in your life

(i have to elaborate because then you'll hit me with the "ofc yes I've seen pictures of real bitterns in my life before")

(i should have not wrote that becuase you're gonna say it anyways)

sadly i have not yet seen any bitterns in person. however the key word is yet, someday i hope i will
