Rainy day for Ominis and MC 🌧️

[midnight-faye]

I was researching Hogwarts Legacy videos as info on my fan-fiction and realised Ominis is so "I bet on losing dogs" by Mitski coded. Like he never had someone by his side. His parents hate him, his siblings are horrible, his aunt died and his best friend manipulated him god he's my baby I love him

97) Perisoreus internigrans; Sójka okopcona, Sichuan jay (sójka syczuańska) - gatunek ptaka z rodziny krukowatych. Jest endemiczny dla Chin.

Jest jednym z trzech przedstawicieli rodzaju Perisoreus, pozostałe to sójka syberyjska, P. infaustus, występująca od Norwegii do wschodniej Rosji, oraz sójka kanadyjska, P. canadensis, występująca wyłącznie w lasach borealnych i zachodnich regionach górskich Ameryki Północnej. Wszystkie trzy gatunki gromadzą pożywienie i żyją przez cały rok na stałych terytoriach w lasach iglastych. Jego naturalnym siedliskiem są subtropikalne lub tropikalne wilgotne lasy górskie. Jest zagrożony utratą siedlisk.

Znajdują się one głównie w odizolowanych fragmentach wysoko położonych lasów iglastych na płaskowyżu Qinghai-Tybet w zachodnio-środkowych Chinach. Te lokalizacje są na ogół odizolowane ze względu na górzysty teren regionu. Jednak przewiduje się, że zarówno zasięg odpowiedniego siedliska, jak i przydatność tego siedliska znacznie się zmniejszą pod wpływem zmian klimatycznych. Zmiany klimatyczne mogą zmusić te ptaki do migracji na północ i w górę, gdzie obszary pozostałe do takiego kompensacyjnego rozszerzenia są dość ograniczone. Ponadto akceptowalne siedliska staną się znacznie bardziej odłączone, co może zwiększyć negatywne skutki zmian klimatycznych pośrednio poprzez spowolnienie lub zatrzymanie przepływu genów i przyspieszenie tempa wymierania rozdrobnionych lokalnych populacji.

The Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) is a small jay with a widespread distribution within the coniferous forests in North Eurasia. Although its habitat is being fragmented, it is a common bird with a very wide range so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".

The Siberian jay is the smallest of the western Palearctic corvids, weighing 75-90g and measuring about 12 inches in length. The adult plumage is greyish brown, with a dark brown head, paler forehead and buff breast. The rump is yellowish and the chin and throat are grey. There is also rufous streaking on the outer feathers, and the bill and legs are black. Their overall colouration is fairly inconspicuous to visually conceal them from predators within their forest habitat. Juveniles look similar to adults, but have paler heads. The plumage is very soft and fluffy for insulation against extreme cold in winter. There is one moult per year, which lasts from mid-June to mid-September. An individual can live for up to 20 years,although the average lifespan has been reported as 7.1 years.

The Siberian jay shares its genus Perisoreus with the Sichuan jay of China and the North American Canada jay. However, the Siberian jay differs from the other two species in group living behaviours. Unlike the other two species, where group individuals unrelated to breeding parents may help to provision the young, the group individuals that accompany a breeding pair of Siberian jays do not help raise the offspring. This absence of extra parental care despite group living may be because cooperative breeding has been selected against in the Siberian jay; probably as an anti-predator strategy to avoid predator attention.

The Siberian jay is mostly silent but can utter a loud scream which resembles that of a buzzard. The song, which is given by both sexes; mainly in the breeding season and heard only from a short distance, comprises many different sounds. These range from soft and harsh notes, whistling, creaking, trilling and mimicked song of other birds.

The Siberian jay is resident in the northern boreal forests of spruce, pine, cedar and larch stretching from Scandinavia to northern Russia and Siberia. This jay favours dense, mature forest habitat with closed canopy within lowlands and foothills. Siberian jays appear to be specially adapted in flight to navigating dense forest, whilst they are rather cumbersome flyers in open terrain. Indeed, breeding success has been linked to higher foliage density; where eggs and nestlings are less likely to attract attention of predators. Additionally, the benefit of increased predator evasion through more hiding space would probably outweigh the cost of making predators more difficult to see by the jays within the dense foliage.

The Siberian Jay is omnivorous and feeds mainly on berries, seeds, insects and spiders. Flocks will also feed on large carcasses killed by mammalian predators such as wolves and wolverines. Other occasional food items include eggs of small birds, tit nestlings, snails, slugs, small mammals and lizards. In autumn and winter, berries are typically collected and stored behind loose bark or in hanging beard lichen and between forked twigs. To securely store food, Siberian jays have developed special saliva glands which they use to form sticky food clumps which they then adhere to beard moss or holes in tree bark; where they are readily accessible throughout the winter. 

Siberian jays distribute many different hidden food caches over a large area and are therefore known as scatter hoarders. However, unlike in other corvids, this hidden food stash is not purposefully shared with siblings to increase inclusive fitness but is consumed by the hoarder or a pilferer for selfish use. Because of their reliance on food stores during winter, they are territorial birds with reserves scattered around the territory, especially near to the nest. These food caches are critical to this species’ winter survival since foraging time is greatly restricted by the few hours of daylight.

Siberian Jays are strictly monogamous and an established pair will stay together and hold the same territory for life. Mate guarding in both sexes has been observed in this species, whereby males and females become increasingly aggressive toward same-sex conspecifics. This may prevent extra-pair mating opportunities for the partner and thereby preserve inclusive fitness for both pair members. Widowed individuals have been observed to establish new pair bonds.

The nest comprises a loose cup of dry twigs broken off trees by the jays and is thickly lined with beard lichen moss, down feathers, cobwebs, reindeer fur and wasp nest fragments; which is necessary insulation against the extreme winter cold. Nest material is hoarded in winter long before building takes place. Nest building then begins in late March and lasts about three weeks. Both partners collect nest material; but only the female builds the nest. The eggs are pale green, blue or grey and spotted with grey and brown. They are laid late March – April, with a variable clutch size of 1-5 and incubation period of about 19 days. The eggs are incubated entirely by the female, whilst the male provides all the food for the brooding female and the chicks. The Siberian jay is single brooded and does not relay in a breeding season even after nest failure, but will wait until next year. A new nest is also built for every breeding attempt.

The species has a complex and unusual social structure. Siberian jays live in small flocks of 2-7 individuals, with the dominant breeding pair at the centre of the group; alongside retained multigenerational offspring and unrelated immigrants. Flock composition varies, with some comprising only family members, families associated with nonrelated immigrants, and others containing only nonrelated individuals. At least one offspring usually remains with the parents after successful reproduction and regularly accompanies the pair for at least a year before dispersing; although some retained offspring delay dispersal for up to five years. Unusually for a group living species of Corvidae, group members do not help the parents raise younger siblings in future cohorts (there is no cooperative breeding) and so offspring retention is not explained by cooperative breeding. Groups also unusually stay together outside the breeding season.

Siberian jays are reported to be fearless in human company, and with repeated provision of food by humans in the same place may become tame enough to take food from the hand. This was especially the case formerly when forestry workers regularly left patches of food scraps in the forest for the jays to take; with the same being true around campfires.

The Siberian jay is evaluated as Least Concern by the IUCN because of the species’ exceptionally large range. Although the world population is decreasing, the magnitude of this decrease is not considered sufficiently large to render the species Vulnerable. The Siberian jay has gained flagship status as a conservation concern both because of threats from modern forestry and because active territories are considered a sign of high-quality biodiverse forest.
