inat has options for this! for each observation you upload, you can choose to keep the location public, not to disclose location at all, or to obscure it.

Im a decently fast artist so I've been averaging about 2/day and I caught myself earlier going "no i need to so 4 today cause I didnt do any yesterday" and had to take a step back like ??? Who told you that dont do that

Anyway! Be safe, pace yourself, take breaks, all the things!

We have Kea, Kākā, Kākāpō, and Kākāriki (of which there are 3 species).

Kākā are more olive brown than green but are really neat and beautiful birds and are growing in numbers thanks to conservation efforts.

Kea are mostly green with red underwings and b will pickpocket you, but then again so will weka. The bit about them stopping traffic is absolutely true - I have a friend who has witnessed this.

Kākāpō are, in the words of my ecology professor, “really bad at being parrots”. They suck, but endearingly so. They are so bad at being alive and climbing things and reproducing but you cannot help but love them. Again, they are green, but in a shambling moss pile sort of way.

Kākāriki are much smaller and are kept as pets internationally. The three kinds are the red crowned, the yellow crowned and the orange fronted. Of these, the latter is the rarest (currently critically endangered).

There are also several other species endemic to various outlying islands. We have, in total, nine surviving endemic parrot species and several subspecies of those.

Oh they do that too.

This was supposed to be just a real quick test on how well I can make "phantom shapes" with the textures, and instead I spent like three days on it, and trying to compromise between subtle and obvious, I ended up with neither. The outline of the "hidden" shape there is not really visible there, but here it is:
