#realistic take on a bird Quirk comes with diseases

[decembersylph-a-t-u]

Actually, if a bird is stressed, they will bite, scream, decrease vocalization, pick at their feathers, self mutilate, have a decreased appetite, and manifest their stress as stereotypical behavior for the species of bird, so toe-tapping, pacing, and swinging their heads.

Scared birds will pull their feathers close to their body, though some put their crest and splay their wings close to the ground. Really scared birds? They hiss or snake their heads, attacking people, their toys, nearby animals, etc.

If a bird has their feathers falling out and it’s not because they’re plucking them out, it can be because the bird is going through molt or has a disease causing them to lose their feathers.

So maybe Izuku is sickly, and it’s affecting him to where he loses his feathers? Maybe not PBFD but something else?

I dunno why, I just like the idea of little Izuku with his baby bird wings going to the hospital so the doctors can find out what’s wrong and why he’s sick, especially catching the attention of Hawks who is surprised and maybe begins as a mentor to Izuku because bird bros have to stick together? :)

And Izuku learning so much about birds from the experience that it causes him to maybe start interning at a zoo or animal shelter to help with animals mainly birds?

Izuku as a chicken for a quirk thoughts on it?

Depends in which chicken species he is tbh

Also him being terrified of Hawks would be hilarious lmao

[irawhiti]

here's the post for people on mobile, it's pretty long because i want to make his situation very clear, so like i said it's going under a readmore:

i want to make it clear that i do NOT and never will condone keeping wild animals as pets, pigeons or otherwise, and i don’t want my occasional garbage can-posting to come across as such. apologies for the length, i want to be as clear as possible about the situation.

garbage can is an undomesticated, tame, australian crested pigeon. i had him given to me to rehabilitate and release and several times a day i’d medicate him and monitor his weight, but unfortunately once he’d recovered his strength i discovered that he has many issues that make him unreleasable, despite being a happy and (well, relatively) healthy bird today.

he’s unable to fly and needs his wings partially clipped for his own safety due to neurological damage making it unsafe for him to gain much lift off of the ground; he was hit by a car and was sitting in shock on the side of the road when he was found with shockingly minor injuries; he was also underweight and showed signs of failure to thrive initially such as minor physical deformities, poor posture, and a wing droop which he still has to a much smaller but noticeable extent. he also would stargaze in the first month or so due to the stress of medicating him which pretty much confirmed neurological damage.

i honestly didn’t expect him to survive the night and euthanasia was at the forefront of my mind for several days, but despite all this, after a couple vet visits and a few weeks of thrice-daily medication and weighing sessions, he recovered shockingly well. he perked up, his posture became more upright, he gained weight, stopped stargazing, and started showing natural, normal behaviour for his species. he’s still small for his species and has some quirks such as poor eyesight and inability to safely fly but he was no longer showing any signs of discomfort and quickly adapted to his situation.

since he obviously had several things going on with him when he was given to me to rehabilitate, i’m unsure on if his neurological damage was caused by illness, physical trauma, or both, and releasing him would have not only killed him but potentially could have spread disease to other native pigeons. my options realistically became to either keep him permanently or to euthanise him.

at this point he was responding very well to taming and had recovered a surprising amount. wildlife sanctuaries in australia don’t have the resources to take care of an incredibly common species of pigeon and surrendering him would have pretty much 100% resulted in euthanasia; even if the people decided to keep him alive, he is a young special needs bird and would require pretty constant care for the rest of his life (people disagree on the average lifespan of a crested pigeon but this could potentially be 15-20 years although due to his health it’s probably on the lower end), thus taking up conservation attention that - to put it bluntly - more vulnerable species need. due to these reasons and the fact that i’ve been rehabbing birds for a large portion of my life at this point and feel comfortable in my abilities, i very hesitantly decided that i would take him in as an unreleasable rescue.

with regards to his care, i’ve got him in a large, customised cage to suit his needs with several flat shelves and many, many sticks for him to hop along without needing to fly. i mix his food with wild grains that i harvest, shell grit and regular grit, ground insects, minerals, etc. to ensure the right nutritional benefits and eat with him several times a day as his species enjoys social feeding. i sit next to him for the majority of my day to ensure he doesn’t get lonely. he gets enrichment from sticks with and without gum nuts and safe leaves to peck at, occasional treats of oats and sprouted bird seed, toilet paper (he’s just always loved toilet paper. without fail always drags it into the water bowl and makes a wet mess), and singing and hand feeding sessions, among other things. he gets showers when it gets warm which he loves, and whenever he gets a bit too dusty which he doesn’t like as much. the lights in the room have to remain reasonably dim due to his pupils being constantly much wider than normal, his eyesight isn’t the best due to his neurological issues and sometimes i have to give him a bit of time to process what he’s seeing so he feels calm. he gets a lot of patience and love and once my housing situation is more stable i’m going to set him up a proper aviary with grass to graze on.

i hope that this explains the effort that’s been put in to keeping a crested pigeon as an unreleasable rescue. i cannot emphasise enough the amount of effort that goes into keeping garbage can as a healthy and happy bird. i would never recommend a crested pigeon as a pet. they are undomesticated animals (like parrots, but that’s another issue altogether). they can show incredible inter- and intra-species hostility between birds, going as far as attacking and sometimes killing other birds during feeding time. they should never be taken from the wild and god forbid should NEVER be bought from a breeder. they’re charming birds and can be incredibly gregarious with humans but they are wild animals and require an incredible amount of work to keep happy and stimulated. no amount of backyard taming will change this.

i have been rehabilitating undomesticated birds for years and working as an assistant for rehabbers for even longer (around a decade) and am comfortable in my knowledge and abilities. if he was healthy enough to release, i would have released him within the month. if he was in pain or disabled enough to affect his quality of life negatively, i would have euthanised him quickly. my situation is not ideal and i cannot possibly make it clear enough that you should not go out and tame an undomesticated pigeon, or any bird for that matter. wild birds belong in the wild.

and finally, rock pigeons have been domesticated for millennia! if you’re interested in owning a pigeon, please please consider adopting a rock pigeon. feral pigeons are domesticated animals and make wonderful companions for many years.

by the way i updated my garbage can page with more info on him being a rescue since i've gained a bunch of followers :) i might post it under a readmore for mobile users as well since it goes into me being a bird rehabber for years and him being an unreleasable disabled rescue who needs a Lot of care and special requirements etc, i don't want people to get the idea that he's a good species pet candidate/wild pet/theoretically releasable or whatever from my occasional pigeon posting and i (hopefully) obviously don't condone that shit at all. the absolute last thing i want is people thinking "oh cool bird, i want one as a pet!" or something similar from seeing a picture of him

[sturmazing]

really ridiculously detailed character stats.

FULL NAME: Lilli Coste. Legally renamed herself Soda Ophelia Sturmaz. NICKNAME(S): Coca-Cola, Sodapop. Not nicknames, rather titles, but The Anomaly and Agent 3 also apply. AGE: Can be written anywhere from childhood to her late 30′s, but her mainverse takes place when she’s 15--17. MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE: ISTJ. BIRTH DATE: April 22nd. ETHNICITY: Half-American, half-Greek. Sometimes says she’s German for no reason except she can. PLACE OF BIRTH: The West Coast of America; specifically, California. GENDER IDENTITY: Genderfluid, though it takes her awhile to realize it. PREFERRED PRONOUN(S): Any. Shoot. She does like he/him the most; obviously, though, most people use she/her, which she doesn’t know nor particularly care to refute. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Sex-repulsed. Really, it’s... complicated, but that will do. RELIGION: Atheist. OCCUPATION: Turf War, of course. No Ranked Battle nor Salmon Run, though. Lots and lots of odd jobs --- they’re her main source of income. She also regularly volunteers at Shellendorf Institute and is perpetually active in Octo Valley under the title of security, but neither of these are paid. FACE CLAIM: That’s classified informati--- It’s not. I just don’t have a consistent character I icon, oops.

Relationships

PARENTS: Her father didn’t much exist outside his fear of the Octarians and overprotective tendencies, whereas her mother was as weak-willed and housewife-stereotype as could be, and tried her absolute hardest to force Soda into this same “ideal woman” archetype. She doesn’t bother remembering either of their names, which is easy to manage, as they’re both dead and/or missing. She inherited more of her mother’s traits, whereas Adonis takes after their father. Her Greek ancestry is on her father’s side, as are her psychotic tendencies --- specifically derived from her grandmother. SIBLINGS: Axel Coste, famously known as Adonis Coste, or Cerberus. He’s a bit of a nasty piece of work, but he does eventually come around. SIGNIFICANT OTHER(S): Most prominently Dustin Lee (@brushrush), although she dated Peter Zhou (@inkyoctoling) behind his back for quite a while. Eventually trapped into marrying Asher “Crush” Leah, her lawyer and favorite stalker. CHILDREN: Jules Sturmaz-Leah. And she’s very much a doting mother! It’s just a shame that she kept her whole, you know, criminal record a secret from Jules and didn’t tell her until after her death, leaving Jules feeling quite alone and betrayed, so that doesn’t end well either. She was supposed to have another, but it turned out the doctor was, in fact, to be taken seriously, and her body couldn’t bear any more children, despite Crush’s faith otherwise. LEVEL OF SEXUAL EXPERIENCE: Not a fact anyone needs to be concerned with. STORY OF FIRST KISS: She’s long forgotten. A SOCIAL PERSON? Not nearly as much once she becomes a public figure, and it only goes downhill from there. HOW DO THEY THINK OTHERS PERCEIVE THEM? As the hero of the story! It really couldn’t be further from the truth. In all honesty, she doesn’t pay much attention to how she comes across in social situations: she’d panic if she did. She has to see herself in a positive light, and so she deludes herself into thinking everyone else must love her too. Later on, she mostly views herself as a burden, and counts off all the ways she knows she’s annoying her conversation partner --- so she expects everyone to hate her, essentially. HOW DO OTHERS ACTUALLY PERCEIVE THEM? It’s highly subjective --- that is, after all, kind of the idea. Generally, onlookers fall into two camps: those who admire her, and those who resent her, both for her campaign work. Prior to her “reveal”, she was generally seen as eccentric and confrontational, a sore loser and immature; she was usually avoided, and those who did end up talking to her regretted it more often than they didn’t. Afterwards, she’s much kinder, tolerant, and more polite, if overly selfless and self-defeating.

Physical Traits

EYE COLOR(S): Grey; they’re naturally thunderstorm-dark, but her right eye is much paler after she’s blinded. HAIR COLOR(S): Soda ink, which was originally and eventually reverts back to turquoise. HEIGHT: 5′7 at full height. WEIGHT: About 180lbs, also at full height. Most of it is muscle. BODY BUILD: Mix between mesomorphic and endomorphic, with an “apple” structure. GLASSES? CONTACTS? None. STYLE OF DRESS/TYPICAL OUTFITS: Anything bulky, practical, and casual, with a preference for military traits   ( Pilot Goggles, Noise Cancellers, FA-01 Jacket, etc. --- things reminiscent of the USAF are even better ).   Loves white sneakers, which are nonetheless filthied by all her time spent slumming around in forests and bogs. Crush has her dress much more formally, and so she eventually wears much more thoughtful and professional outfits, although she’d still rather get away with a suit than skirts. JEWELRY? TATTOOS? PIERCINGS? She hates jewelry --- finds it painfully impractical --- but is forced to wear quite an expensive bit of it once married. Inklings can’t retain tattoos, but she has a naval piercing she finally caved on in her teens. Come adulthood, she wears it only sparingly. ATHLETIC? She’s Agent 3, she had better be athletic. Not as much as a lot of people think she ought to be, but that’s more because her calf muscles were sliced in the first campaign and she never went to therapy for it, so she can’t run nearly as well as she should be able to. HOW DO THEY WALK: With a bit of a swagger --- certainly domineering, and a demanding presence. Nonetheless, she’s capable of shrinking her presence to blend in, which becomes the norm after losing her eye. HOW DO THEY SMELL LIKE: Mold and rust for the longest time, which stuck to her after spending so much time in the collapsing domes. Eventually manually overrides it with lots of soaps and even perfumes, once married. WHAT’S THEIR POSTURE LIKE? Thoughtless --- it fluctuates with her mood, though she usually slouches to some degree. Professional responsibility once her identity is revealed forces her to stand a little straighter and pay a little more attention.

Phobias and Diseases

PHOBIA(S): Fear of the unknown most prominently; most fears are derivative. Many of the creatures that lived during the human era actually terrify her. Hates ghosts like none other. MENTAL DISEASE(S): Nothing permanent diagnosed in-universe, and I’m still in the process of researching a lot of things, but PTSD/C-PTSD is basically a given, and for awhile she’s a psychopath in everything except brain chemistry. PHYSICAL DISEASE(S): Not necessarily “diseases” per se, but she has chronic pain from her discolorations, hypoesthesia or numbness from the sheer amount of abuse her body took when fighting Octavio, and later develops dangerously low ink-pressure due to a number of reasons, most prominently self-harm, which heavily affects her motor skills. WHEN WAS THIS DIAGNOSED? The only thing she’s ever been officially diagnosed with as of my current draft was an episode of brief psychotic disorder, soon after she divorced Crush.

Intellect

LEVEL OF EDUCATION: Piss-poor --- fourth or fifth grade. Eventually convinced to return to school, though. LEVEL OF SELF-ESTEEM: She’ll have you believe she’s a literal god, but her self-esteem is actually about twenty-thousand leagues under the sea. Which... isn’t an exaggeration, either. She’s never understood why she was born, and firmly believes she shouldn’t have been, especially after her trial. GIFTS/TALENTS: Her most stand-out trait is the ability to think logically and control situations in a society that favors quick, aggressive reactions, if that much can be called a gift. She’s naturally resourceful and methodical, if a bit slow on the uptake. Most of her other skills have been achieved through practice; she doesn’t believe in things that just come to people, but instead that they have to work for it. SHORTCOMINGS: She’s very slow; in multiple senses, but mostly in that she isn’t adaptable. While that worked in her favor in the campaign, it doesn’t serve her well in the world at large. Plus, her... personality is pretty much one giant shortcoming. In both verses. So. STYLE OF SPEECH: In a word? Messy. She speaks quickly, often slurring her words so badly that it creates the illusion of an accent, and it isn’t helped by her limited vocabulary. She cusses an excessive amount and thinks very little before she speaks   ( provided she isn’t in a delicate situation, in which she will generally not speak at all or as little as possible ).   Eventually, she does slow down and actually processes her thoughts and emotions before speaking --- sometimes. It’s still not something that comes naturally to her. “LEFT BRAIN” OR “RIGHT BRAIN” THINKER: Left, very-much-so. ARTISTIC? God, no. MATHEMATICAL? Ish --- she harbors a love of and skill with formulas, but she refuses to be taught. Good with application, but not theory --- she’s the type to ask why there are letters in a math problem, but then she can easily utilize formulas when she wants to. MAKES DECISIONS BASED MOSTLY ON EMOTIONS, OR ON LOGIC? Absolutely emotions, though she’ll take it to her grave. MOST SENSITIVE ABOUT/VULNERABLE TO: Her reputation and history; even early into her story, she refuses to believe she may be doing the wrong thing, and these things are irrefutable proof. Nowadays, it just disheartens her all the more, which isn’t exactly an emotion she needs more of. OPTIMIST OR PESSIMIST? Realist. EXTROVERT OR INTROVERT? Introvert with a real love of companionship --- she just ... can’t stand any companions.

Details/Quirks

NIGHT OWL OR EARLY BIRD? Early bird. LIGHT OR HEAVY SLEEPER? Light sleeper. FAVORITE FOOD: She eats so rarely with such a narrow palate that it’d be unfair to name much of anything. LEAST FAVORITE FOOD: Anything exotic (much to Crush’s dismay). COFFEE OR TEA? Gross, gross, gross! She only drinks coffee out of necessity (read: when she pulls three all-nighters in a row). CRUNCHY OR SMOOTH PEANUT BUTTER? Crunchy? Sure. LEFTY OR RIGHTY? Right-handed! All Inklings are; she does practice ambidexterity quite a bit, just for the sake of efficiency, but her left never quite matches her right. FAVORITE COLOR? White. CUSSER? She swore like a sailor as a teen, and while it never quite leaves her vocabulary, she doesn’t actively try to anymore. SMOKER? DRINKER? DRUG USER? Briefly addicted to cigarettes, but she kicked it as soon as she realized what she was doing. Alcohol-repulsed, and she’s never seen the charm in drugs, since she is prone to hallucinations even without them. PETS? No. She doesn’t have the time nor patience.
