Absurd bird

Hey I’m in art school and recently after reading a lot of what you’ve wrote about ankhou really inspired me. Hes a great bird and so smart. But I was wondering if you were ok with me doing a painting series of him ?

theramseyloft:

Sure. ^v^

I’ll even send you all his reference pics. 

Here he is on arrival.

After his first feed.

I’d had him for about a week.

Look at this sad naked muffin. I’d had him for about a week and a half.

My good boy doing his job.

All the loaf!!!

A burrito.

Good morning, buddy…

All shiny and clean. XD

Still not dry yet.

Buddy, no.

Off on an adventure!

Lookit this smug fucker about to come into my GPs office.

Maybe now that I have a better camera, I’ll get better pictures of him.

todaysbird:

although frequently assumed to be grouped with other birds, the dodo was a large member of the pigeon family. its closest living relative is the nicobar pigeon, a bird with striking iridescent plumage that is found mainly on small islands in asia. the nicobar pigeon feeds on fruits, seeds, and insects, and lives in small flocks. adult birds have a distinct white tail; the sexes are similar, but females are slightly smaller. unfortunately, the nicobar pigeon is rated ‘near threatened’ by the iucn as of 2018, mainly due to hunting.
