BOTD: Red-headed Barbet

Photo: Doug Greenberg

"Male is unmistakable with bright red head, green back, yellow belly, and stout yellow bill. Also notice the oval-shaped body with large head and short tail. Female is similar to some South American barbet species , but note head pattern: blue cheek, orange side of neck, and black forehead. Usually found in pairs, often accompanying a mixed-species flock in the forest canopy. Sometimes visits fruit feeders."

SIGNATURE DOOR

the door , similarly to its grymm , is made to stand out . it's a brilliant crimson , vivid and bright in a way that practically screams ' look at me ! ' . the wood beneath the paint — not that the paint ever cracks or peels , of course — is smooth and rich , carved with elegant and sweeping curves that make it appear almost larger than it is . while only one half of the door opens , it's made to look like a double door , split down the middle , with two large panels of glass creating a circular window that hints at shadow just past the door but offers no true glimpse of what may be beyond . no matter where the door stands , roses bloom on either side , climbing and tangling , deep green vines and bright red blooms embracing the doorway like they have protected it forever . they never seem to shrivel up , but they never seem to grow either : all they do is linger at the door's edges . if you're not careful , your arms may brush against the thorns hidden in the foliage . it's almost as if the door is made to beckon you in and keep you at bay at the same time — mysterious , beautiful , and compelling .

SOUL SEVER

the dha has a presence as commanding as suni — it's a traditional thai blade , beautifully crafted , almost as if centuries of craftsmanship have gone into its creation . its blade is long and just slightly curved , forged from polished steel . if one were to look closely , they would see the a faint , rippling pattern across its surface — the dance of flowing water etched into metal . the edge itself is razor - sharp , and along its length , faint engravings of the thai abugida write out prayers for protection , blessings meant to guard both the bearer and those they are bringing to the afterlife . at the point where the hilt meets the blade , a small brass ring glints under the light . the hilt itself is wrapped in black and gold , fabric woven into an intricate pattern . at the base of the hilt , a red ribbon is tied — a shock of color against the rest of the muted tones of the blade . on the top , a holy white thread is wrapped over the red ; the same traditional white thread suni remembers wearing on her left hand following her baci . she takes perfect care of it , and while she's not accustomed to using weapons , she's grown to trust this one immensely due to its familiarity and the way it is reminiscent of her home .

WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S WINGS LOOK LIKE?

sunisa proudly wears the wings of a female red - and - yellow barbet . they're not absurdly large , but not too small either — simply somewhere in between , as if they were made for her body . none of the plumage has been plucked , nor does she have any scars or injuries on her wings . she takes care of them as tediously as she does the rest of her appearance . the feathers themselves are mostly dark , a shiny black that seems glossy in most lighting . she considers the feathers on the underside to be dull and drab ; they're a shade of brown that she doesn't particular adore . that said , the patterns on her wings make up for it — a smattering of delicate white spots , markings that , from a distance , almost appear to emulate a string of pearls . towards the base of the wings , a few yellow feathers peek through the brown and black , hinting at the rest of a barbet's markings .

WHAT SHAPE DOES THEIR BARDO USUALLY TAKE?

the bardo sits quietly in a sprawling wildflower field she remembers only faintly , from a rare , peaceful day in belgium . the flowers sway even when there is no breeze to move them , as if they must be as wild and unrestrained as they are beautiful . their vibrant colors stretch as far as the eye can see — or , at least , into the fog as the bardo ends . rising from the center of the field is a grand but ( outwardly ) understated house , shockingly smaller than the home she had in life but still built with the subtle touch of wealth . it looks as if it's made to host soirées , with a vast collection of hallways an rooms , windows peeking in to brightly lit spaces . inside , the house is pure 1980s' decadence. it's touched in luxurious excess , with sleek , mirrored surfaces , dark lacquered furniture , and rich , muted shades of red . paintings cover the wall , replicas of all the famous artists she so terribly admired when living . crystal chandeliers cast fractured light across rooms , which are filled with velvet and leather seating and polished marble floors . here and there , brass and glass detailing glints . despite all its moving pieces , it is almost always so cold that it feels frozen in its loneliness , an ode to a life that was just a little too perfect on the surface .

WHAT ARE THEY LIKE AT THE DEPARTMENT OF AFTERLIFE AFFAIRS?

at the department of afterlife affairs , suni prefers to stay efficient and work on her own . she's the sort of coworker who never wastes time on pleasantries — after all , who enjoys small talk — and most of her interactions quick and laced with a cool detachment , like she can't be bothered to linger for much longer than necessary . that said , she’s certainly resourceful, ambitious, and quietly calculating : while colleagues may describe her as a bit too intense , she knows how to soften herself when needed . one can predict that she'll ask for a favor when she saunters up to their desk with a rare smile and the intent to charm . it's a weapon she only pulls out when she's at a dead end, but she knows how to use it nonetheless . 

WHAT IS THEIR OPINION ON 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄?

ugh . who died and put them in charge ? seriously , though , they represent everything she despises — power she can't reach , and a reminder that even in death , she's still under someone's thumb . though she keeps that opinion to herself , being their pawn is an insult that she cannot and will not ignore . she obeys them only because it suits her now — they're a force she'll endure , only because she's waiting for the right moment to slip free of their control and reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers .

HOW DO THEY LOOK LIKE/DRESS LIKE IN THE AFTER?

suni's appearance in the after is as carefully curated as it was in life . she leans toward clean , tailored lines in black , white , and red : her wardrobe is a monochrome palette with occasional splashes of boldness in crimson . gold jewelry , pearls , and diamonds adorn her often , though she wears them with restraint , letting her mere presence do most of the talking . her outifts are meticulously chosen to radiate a timeless sort of elegance — they are each extravagant and subtle all at once , commanding attention without the need for extra flair . her makeup is sharp and clean , sometimes accentuated with a bold red lip . her eyes are often outlined with just enough darkness to draw attention to her gaze , and her hair is cropped to her collarbone , a sleek and defiant style that makes the lines of her face seem a bite more harsh . she believes she need not beg for admiration ; it's her right , and she dresses accordingly .

ARE THERE ANY RUMORS OR GOSSIP ABOUT THEM?

● it's pretty rare to see her smile ( unless she's laughing at someone ) so anytime she does , it's a bit of a commodity to her coworkers . ● she dislikes talking about her past lover , but there is lots of speculation surrounding their relationship and why she is so jaded because of it . ● when she flirts , it's usually calculated and painfully effective . she has the allure of a siren calling sailors to the water : suni knows exactly how to use her charm to get what she wants , and it's more a weapon than anything else .  ● most know that when she wants something , she won't stop until she gets it . the same is true for revenge — don't start a fight with her unless you want it to escalate .

okay, birds seen at home in june round up! comes to a total of 62 species, which is oddly high for the middle of winter. the highlight was the green twinspot, which i’d only got my first ever sighting of two weeks earlier. presumably it had only found its way to our garden because of the heavy rains and flash floods (and the tornado what the fuck) a few days prior - they’re forest birds, whereas our area is more broad-leaf woodland.

"A small, widespread, and cute little barbet with streaked underparts and a well-patterned face. Most populations have a red forehead, yellow around the eye and throat, and a black eyestripe all bordered at the rear of the crown by a black band. Also note red “badge” on upper chest. Female averages duller than the male, with some yellow on a narrower red “badge”. Immature lacks all red and has faint streaking on the throat. Subspecies in Sumatra, Nusa Tenggara, and the central Philippines have bright red-and-black faces. While common, can be hard to see; listen instead for its call, a prolonged and unmistakable “kuk-kuk-kuk.” Favors open woodlands, forest edge, and gardens in lowland and foothill areas; ranges up into higher elevations in the Philippines and Indonesia."
