honestly when it comes to my avians, please know they're more birb than human. stress gripping, the ruffled features, all of that, they make chirps, tweets and all of that on a normal basis.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

yes, they preen.

Nests are incredibly important to my avians. It provides a source of comfort. Of familiarity and bits and suchthat go into nest come from their mates or the people they intend to court. This is most because those scents act like a reset point when they become too stressed. Some of my avians resort to tearing their feathers out so this can be a way to prevent.

when it comes to ezra and ogun, they truly do take on more of their species's characteristics. the dialted pupils, the bird calls ( in ogun's case that haunting gun rattling ), the stress grip, etc. i'll expand further on this soon, but god the thought of like humanoid birds is something important to me. because them have like feather necks and feathers in their hair ???? the subtle black markings around their eye, the nictating membrane ??? yes.

some rare ambie meta.

when it comes to my beastkin, they live in a world where humans are aware of their presence, they don't bother hiding the animalistic traits that make them who they are.

my birds ( salem, elliot, ezra & ogun ), most of their fingers are talon-like, they stress-grip and make trilling noises, that haunting gunshot noise shoebills make, that loud noise hawks make, and for salem and elliot, you can tell they're phoenixes, because they're pale enough to see the fire in their veins. most of my birds, their wingspan will always be five times the width of their body ( it's suppose to support their weight ) and yes, they do have somewhat hollow bones but most of them have musculature skeletons that can handle harsh landings.

same with my predators, all my cats tend to make growling noises, they knock shit off tables, hiss, they have tails. most of this is not hidden, they can half-shift, and fully shift without a seconds notice, especially if in an emotional state. they get the zoomies, they go into heats ( where applicable for their animal ) and they have mating instincts.

and for some of them, but especially for my cats and birds, more specifically for my birds (i.e elliot and salem ), they tend to have like feathers hidden in their hair, or light feathers along their spine, they hop, and coo, and trill when happy, they make distressed noises. they're not human, they're still beasts no matter how pretty the human skin is.

Ogun Abara. Shoebill. 27 years old. 6′8′’ Unknown.

noticeable features: wings, long legs. 

     His species is endangered. As a species, Ogun is a solitary creature, and although he’s kind of shy, he’s very brave and can exhibit quite territorial tendencies. When it comes to interacting with humans, he will often stare at them, making them uncomfortable until they leave him alone. He’s comfortable alone, though he doesn’t mind close friends near him. He and Ezra are quite close because Ezra has created an environment for him to thrive along with others like him. Because it isn’t just one space, the aviary is actually quite massive, different environments for different breeds and it’s been a life saver for many. 

edited: ogun, along with ezra are now under the care of yomi ( @nvrcmplt ) and his master, doflamingo ( @conquiistador ). and they are thriving while being pampered and expertly cared for.

ogun's kick packs a punch. he normally doesn't really try to harm anyone, but whenever he's feeling panicked or cornered, he will kick and it will crack or bruise a rib.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

ezra and ogun can't cook. it's a fatal flaw but they're birds, they live off the land and don't even mind. cooked food is lost on them most of the time.

[dcwnrisen-aa]

earning ogun's trust, means earning ezra's. they are a packaged deal, and though ogun is wary of strangers, if ezra even gives an inch and you take a mile, ogun's trust dwindled rapidly.
