Submit any posts with birds and I'll ID them DISCLAIMER: Sometimes I make mistakes. I am not a professional; this blog is for entertainment purposes only.
Long overdue introduction for this blog. Gimmick blog that identifies birds in posts, currently run by one mod (Mod Bird; it/its).
Birds are identified with both their common name and scientific name to reduce confusion.
FAQ:
Q: How do I submit a post for identification?
A: Feel free to send it through the inbox, submissions, messages, or tag me in the post. I try my best to respond to all of them (tumblr refuses to show me tags sometimes; frustrating), though keep in mind this blog runs off of a queue so if there are a high volume of submissions your post may not be posted for a couple of days.
Q: You've misidentified a bird in [insert post]!
A: Oh no! Feel free to add onto the post with a correction or send an ask; I'd much rather a version with a correct ID circulate.
Q: What is the bird in your PFP?
A: It is a loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus). The original image can be found here.
Q: I found a wild bird that appears injured, what do I do?
A: I am a hobbyist; I have no formal training in the field of ornithology nor am I licensed to give advice regarding injured animals. Please contact your local wildlife rehabilitators for advice. If the bird appears younger, see this post for additional information.
Tagging system below the cut:
#ID - For all identified birds
#Multi - More than one species of bird appears in the post
#Fledgling - Catchall tag for young birds. Everything from nestlings to actual fledglings to juveniles is covered under this tag
#Drawn - Depictions of birds (art, sculpture, 3D models, etc.)
#Fictional - Fictitious birds with inspiration from real birds
#Video - Exactly what it says on the tin. May or may not have audio
#Incomplete ID - Might be just a genus, might be just a family. Not enough information to narrow it down or it's a bird I don't recognize (if you have a clarification, feel free to send it in)
#Updated ID - Posts where a correction or additional information has been submitted. If a post has the updated ID tag, assume that's the one I'd rather people reblog.
#ID Provided - The bird in this post is already identified within the post! Makes my job easy
#Asks - Asks, submissions, corrections—anything that flies in through the inbox
For individual species, all birds are tagged with their order, family, genus common name, and species common name, with scientific genus and species included in the post text itself (example below):
If you're curious whether a specific bird or post has made an appearance on this blog, try searching it first. However, tumblr's search system is horrendous so I completely understand if I get the same post sent a couple of times.

I think it would be really wonderful if seagulls were constructed more like bottles with a mystery inside. What I'm imagining is that were you to catch one, you could then unscrew its face and there would be a glowing gem nestled in some sort of gilded socket. The Core of the Gull so to speak. Then you could swap that around with other seagulls, and after screwing the faces back on they would fly off as if nothing happened. Hm... Is this too esoteric, or do some of you see what I am getting at?

What eldritch horror is this? If you thought it was a bird with legs growing from its chest, look again! Male Bronze-winged Jacanas (Metopidius indicus) are responsible for raising their chicks, and they have a unique defensive strategy to keep their chicks safe. When threatened, a father can scoop up his offspring and carry them under his wings! Found in parts of Southeast Asia, this species uses its large feet to wade in the shallows, feeding on plant material, insects, and invertebrates floating on the surface.

[Description: the video is captioned "Find the duck game", and we see several blindfolded women in hijabs groping around an enclosed ring while spectators look on, cheering and laughing . After a few seconds the camera pans so that you can see the duck, who is waddling around, casually yet resolutely resisting capture. Periodically the women collide with each other. They do not find the duck. End ID]
