[doveghost]

What kinds of doves should I look at for character inspo?

If you're looking for something colorful, I'd suggest types of green pigeons or fruit doves. Some cool ones are Cinnamon headed green pigeons, little green pigeons, yellow footed green pigeons, thick billed green pigeons, jambu fruit doves, spotted fruit doves, wompoo fruit doves, and yellow breasted fruit doves. Nicobar pigeons, Victoria crowned pigeons, and bronzewings are also cool. So are white breasted ground doves, cinnamon ground doves, and Lemon doves, as well as most types of imperial pigeons

If you want something with more neutral colors, I'd suggest banded fruit doves, namaqua doves, Silvery pigeons, Squatter pigeons, snow pigeons, Scaled pigeons, Christmas imperial pigeons, Zebra piegons, Crested pigeons, and topknot pigeons

Sorry I couldn't list more

Nirvana in Fire Rewatch Episode Fifteen

Events:

The Emperor tells Xia Dong and Xia Chun to look into the eunuch murder. They conclude the culprit was an elite jianghu swordmaster, and Xia Dong suspects Xie Yu is behind it.

Banruo advises Prince Yu to curry favour with Meng Zhi by begging leniency from the Emperor on his behalf. MCS, and Xie Yu, point out that this is a bad idea because the Emperor will not welcome an alliance between Prince Yu and Meng Zhi. Banruo is pissed.

A pigeon comes from Lin Chen to say he's succeeded in Southern Chu.

Jingrui catches his Zhuo brother out late at night and is suspicious.

Shen Zhui visits Jingyan, who tells him to be careful of his personal safety; at the same time, Xie Yu is telling the Zhuo to target Shen Zhui.

A fire is set in the Palace; the Empress gets told off for carelessness and later has a bunch of servants flogged to death for minor offences.

Gong Yu tries to visit MCS again.

Jingrui shows off his sword moves to MCS and Yujin. MCS gets a birthday party invitation.

Names and titles:

MCS and Li Gang discuss Lin Chen referring to him as Lin-da-gongzi.

Consort Yue is a guifei again.

Jingrui and brother Zhuo both refer to Liyang as muqin.

Characters:

Banruo has enough status in Prince Yu's household to receive guests.

MCS ignores Banruo deliberately to put her back up.

When Xia Dong and Xia Chun are summoned before the Emperor, Xia Chun does the talking.

Meng Zhi is not stoic about injuries.

Xie Yu lies to the Zhuo to make Shen Zhui look like a legitimate target.

Shisan-xiansheng is a musician.

FL watches Jingrui's sword practice and isn't impressed, though he was memorising the moves.

Yujin's birthday is the Double Seven festival.

Gong Yu is supposed to be clever but she makes a completely fool of herself. Are we supposed to find her sentiment admirable, or is she just pathetic?

Costumes:

In bed, Meng Zhi's topknot is wound with a leather thong; the Emperor's with gold string.

When got up in the middle of the night, the court ladies dress in splendid robes but very simple hairstyles.

For his sword practice Jingrui takes off his sleeveless overrobe.

Time and place:

The Empress was married when she was 16.

It's less than ten days travel to Fenzuo where the Zhuo live. Usually they stay in the capital from New Year to mid-4th month. This year they're staying longer because Xie Qi is due to give birth in the 5th month.

Jingrui's birthday is the 12th day of the 4th month, and he will turn 25. That makes him about 5 or 6 years younger than MCS.

My experience with them is that they are more pleasant than a standard pigeon, but not as bright.

Every time I go downstairs to the laundry room, this pigeon tries to seduce me.

Northshore's Aboriginal History

Much of what is now the North Shore Hamilton area was known to Aboriginal people as Yerrol or Yurrol. This term referred to a rainforest vine used in hut-building and as a general fiber or rope. In the 19th century, Yerrol was described as a ‘scrub’ — a riverine rainforest pocket. This area, along with the fishery below it extending towards Breakfast Creek, served as the towrie, the primary hunting and resource area for one of Brisbane’s largest clusters of Aboriginal camps (Kerkhove, 2021).

Fauna – wallabies, pigeon, Australian bush rats, black snakes, grey-headed flying foxes, bush turkeys, wompoo fruit-doves and topknot pigeons.

Flora – vines, palms, cedars, pines, orchids, and figs.

Ideas based on Key Themes

Rainforest – revegetation, floral designs, traditional bush tucker – mural, community garden, vine sculptures

Black bean tree – empty bean pods were used to make children’s toy canoes – playground (incorporates waterways & youth-focused target audience)

Basketry – weaving, textiles – crafting workshops using natural and recycled materials – “how-to” via QR code

Campsite – “yarning circles” – place of gathering, sharing wisdom and culture.

Yarning Circle at Charles Sturt Children's Centre

“The purpose of a Yarning Circle is for all people to be able to speak and to be heard in a safe and respectful environment on equal footing with all speakers and listeners."

Animal of the Day!

Topknot Pigeon (Lopholaimus antarcticus)

(Photo by David Ongley)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Australia

Size (Weight/Length)- 46 cm

Diet- Fruits

Cool Facts- The topknot pigeon is named for its red plumage on the back of its head, resembling a topknot style of hair. Living in small flocks, topknot pigeons are sometimes called flying pigs for their guttural and squealing call. These pigeons eat exclusively fruits and stay far away from human settlements. They help to spread seeds across miles of rainforest, helping the fight against habitat destruction. During the summer, topknot pigeons build large nests out of eucalyptus branches while laying only a single egg. Both male and female pigeons help in incubating the egg and rearing the chick.

Rating- 12/10 (Will hang upside down to eat fruit, beating their wings frantically.)

What about topknot pigeons. They have fucked up hairstyles

MY FELLOW AUSTRALIANS. I am writing to ask you to consider voting for the Australian Magpie, G. tibicen, for Australian Bird of the Year 2023.

They look cool.

They're iconically Australian.

They sound cool.

And they fuck shit up.

In conclusion; they are a most excellent bird, and the CLEAR choice for Australian Bird of the Year 2023.

So I encourage you to go nominate the Australian Magpie, G. tibicen, at the link above. May the #swoopsweep begin!
