I had planned to do something totally different with my day but instead I made a whole bunch of pride birds! I plan to put them on Redbubble asap.
Lesbian: pink-headed warbler
Gay: eastern rosella
Bi: varied bunting
Trans: lilac-breasted roller
Genderqueer: woodstar
Aro/ace: pink-headed fruit dove
ADDITIONAL BIRBS
Pansexual: oriental dwarf kingfisher
Nonbinary: gouldian finch
Asexual: purple-crowned fairywren
Sapphic: red-tailed comet
Aromantic: dusky-headed conure
I couldn’t resist making more pride birds today, especially after I discovered that the scientific name of the red-tailed comet is Sappho sparganurus. Sappho, you guys!! This bird is named after her!!
Finally! The Vosmaeri eclectus for the polyamory flag.
While not an orientation or gender identity, the polyam flag is still very popular at pride events.
I thought the eclectus was perfect for this flag because unlike other parrots, they’re nonmonogamous. What a fun coincidence that they happen to match the flag so well and to be a personal favorite of mine.
Genderfluid violet-backed starling! I had a lot of fun drawing this one; I’m getting less afraid to draw iridescence on birds.
Despite all the frustration they cause for American naturalists, starlings are delightful, intelligent creatures. (Redbubble link)
God should release new birds that look like this as an apology for making this fucking pandemic.
Good news: these are all real birds that already exist!
Tumblr won’t let me add any more photos but please!!! look them up. The real birds are more beautiful than my pictures.
Adding the MLM bird again because he got missed by the reblog train last time. (Here’s the post where I added him.) And, at long last, the bird for the intersex flag!
MLM: purple gallinule (redbubble)
Intersex pride: purple throated euphonia (redbubble)
