Ashy Prinia:

The ashy prinia (Prinia socialis) is a small passerine bird belonging to the prinia family, Cisticolidae. It is also known as the ashy wren-warbler or ashy warbler. Here's some information about the ashy prinia bird.

Appearance: The ashy prinia is a small bird, measuring around 12 to 14 centimeters (4.7 to 5.5 inches) in length. It has a slender body with a long, graduated tail. The upperparts are primarily ashy-gray, while the underparts are pale grayish-white. It has a relatively short bill, a dark eye, and pale legs.

Distribution: The ashy prinia is native to South Asia and can be found in various countries including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and parts of Myanmar. It typically inhabits grasslands, scrublands, and open areas with tall grass or reeds.

Behavior and Diet: Ashy prinias are active and agile birds. They are known for their characteristic tail-wagging behavior, where they constantly move their tails up and down. They feed mainly on insects, foraging among vegetation and occasionally making short flights to catch prey. Their diet may also include spiders, small invertebrates, and seeds.

Breeding: During the breeding season, which varies across its range, the male ashy prinia establishes a territory and sings to attract a mate. The female constructs a cup-shaped nest using grass, leaves, and other plant materials, typically placed in low bushes or tall grasses. The female lays a clutch of 3 to 4 eggs, which she incubates for about 12 to 14 days. Both parents contribute to feeding the chicks until they fledge.

Vocalization: The ashy prinia is known for its varied and melodious song, consisting of a series of whistling, trilling, and warbling notes. Their vocalizations are an important means of communication within their territories.

Conservation Status: The ashy prinia is not globally threatened and is listed as a species of "Least Concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). However, like many bird species, it may face localized threats due to habitat loss and degradation.

The ashy prinia is a delightful bird to observe, known for its lively behavior and pleasant song. Birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts often enjoy encountering these charming little birds in their natural habitats.

A lot of the time when I see people draw realistic tallbirds they make the body less Eyeball so that, y'know, there's room for organs in there, but personally I think it's doable while keeping the eye to body ratio by giving them non-spherical eyes like an owl.

Unlike an owl, they do seem to be able to move the iris and pupil somewhat, mainly up and down (most noticeable in the smallbird death animation when its eye rolls back into its head), but I don't see why they couldn't have bell-shaped eyes or dome-shaped eyes anchored by muscles that can squash and stretch them to look around or change the depth of field (like that squinting animation smallish tallbirds have).
