I forgot to post my final #birbfest short list bird, which happened to be a "Red Junglefowl" - cluck cluck.

This was a fun little challenge, I don't have a lot of experience with birds.

It's #birbfest short list Thursday again! This week was a Galah cockatoo. I'm trying to get used to using the entire page, which is something I am notoriously bad at.

This one is pencil crayon and a bit of acrylic paint.

How is it Thursday already?! It's #Birbfest short list day - today was a short-eared owl! Just a football, zooming through the sky.

Pencil crayon and micron pen, random sketchbook paper.

Decided to do the #BirbFest2026 shortlist! Here’s last Thursday’s birb, the Bronzewing Pigeon; a pretty pidge

It's Thursday, and that means it's #Birbfest short list day - today was uhh an Andean cock-of-the-rock, and yes, I snerked and giggled the whole time. What a bird.

This is pencil crayon in some random cheap sketchbook, with micronpen
