I think more people (me) should stop using Ravens and other corvids to act as omen's of death when doing a symbolism and start using Pīwakawaka as omens of the death instead.

You may not like it, but this is what peak death omen looks like.

Male cardinals are at their reddest now during courting and before the hardships of parenting. You can see them at a distance even in the woods and when they show up in the garden they're by far the brightest color there.

A Queltehue drawing I made for my mother. She loves them a lot so had to make one for mother's day.

Fat Kereru

The fat part is obvious really and so inherent to kereru that it can't really be used as a descriptor. They also during some times of the year do great big swoops over the trees to show off to potential mates, and at other times get so drunk on fermenting fruit that they fall under the trees and lie out on the lawn with mates.

Miniatures! I was really excited to start working with cold porcelain for the first time. It was actually a pretty challenging medium compared to polymer clay.

I chose a couple of common winter birds as the subject for my practice figurines: The Northern Cardinal and Dark-eyed Junco.
