I’d love to hear about your wings, how large they are, the colours, types of flying- do they look like a known bird? or are they like no other bird’s wings? are they fluffy? would they be good for gliding, or fast flying?

Please share in the comments (: 

Hello my beautiful birds!

- special preening brushes can be bought, they’re like,, beaks but you use them like a hair straightener? Have teeny tiny fine brushes on the inside to make sure your feathers aren’t ruffled, you hold them in your hand (not attached to your face like an actual beak asjkfkfa)

- you can buy preening oil/preening powder depending on your wing type- some birds have preening oil glands that ensure their feathers are waterproof, while others have powder down (feathers that secret a preening powder) but people can buy these products to make their feathers extra nice (:

- feather shampoo! gentol,, so no feather damage

- make sure to wash the areas around where your feathers sprout, so there's no nasties (:

- brush the fluffy underdown on the very inside of your wings, don't want it to get tangled or matted

- spray your feathers with waterproofing oil so they don’t get soggy or damp if it rains or is humid

- people warm their wings in the hot sun/by a heater/fireplace and wrap them around themselves like a warm blanket

If you weren’t already aware, therian day is November 4! We are all excited, and in honor of our little “holiday”, I’ve decided to extend a few tips for our birds. Of course, these tips are good for any day as well!

Things to do outside:

Climb trees, if you’re able! If your ‘type is an avid perching species, this is a wonderful way to feel closer to home. Likewise, it is also a good reminder of flight.

Go for a bike ride! Feeling the wind in your fea– I mean hair, is another great way to simulate flight. Alternatively, going for a ride in the car with the windows down can replicate the same feeling without the physical aspect.

Spend time near lakes or rivers if your ‘type frequented those areas more often than trees.

Collect twigs, moss, pebbles, or anything else to replicate what your nest looked like. It can be a nice crafty idea, trying your hands at weaving, while feeling avian.

Go birdwatching! This can attribute to a good deal of shiftiness.

Things to do Inside

Listen to soundtracks from your habitat! Alternatively, you can watch documentaries regarding your theriotype if you can find them!

Watch movies or read books pertaining to your type if they are available to you.

Create art based on your theriotype! If you aren’t the artsy type, you can make a photo collage instead.

Bundle up, this can replicate the feeling of fluffing up/rousing your feathers!

Replicate a nest out of pillows and blankets! Alternatively, if your theriotype nests in a cavity, you can build a fort.

Concoct food and/or drink recipes that align with your theriotype’s diet! You can feel more birdy, and get creative in the kitchen!

Hey birds! I wanted to share a fantastic flight and bird life simulator that is free on Roblox. It’s called Bird Simulator by Avian Skies. You begin as a house finch, and level up from there. As you achieve higher levels and earn coins, you can choose to be different species like crows, eagles, hummingbirds, owls, and more! Each species has its own unique food set that you must forage and/or hunt for. You can also zoom into your bird so that you are flying and moving from your point of view.
