I have been trying to figure out what the bird is for ages! We has a fair few of them around my home. They're so adorable, prancing about, wiggling their butts everywhere.

We have a couple around here, but we had a ton by the park at my parent's place - including one that loved to swoop me!

Your birds always have the best poses. :) This one is completely adorable.

I do have a soft spot for drawing birds. :)

[white_rabbit]

Me too. It's really the only animal I've ever drawn that has come naturally to me without many references. <3

I adore these birds, even when they are being all grumpy and scolding someone/thing.

Alas, another piece of artwork I cannot afford. =[

[moonvoice]

I've been scolded and swooped. And I used to sometimes walk with a friend and her a black/white border collie which was swooped all the time the poor thing!

I really like the spirals on this one, and the way they flow with the background . The bird's pose also made me laugh. While we don't have them here, we have comparable species, so just from the position I can picture the little fellow strutting about, flicking his tail and being loud. :D

[moonvoice]

Very loud! He's a fantail too, so he can spread his tail into a little fan when looking for moths in the grass and stuff.

I've had the unpleasant and novel experience of being aggressively swooped by one of these guys.

Oh, how bright and springy! I like this one's color palette.

Thanks! :D
