#inktober day 17 - Ornate 👑

One of the prettier birds of prey out there! The Ornate Hawk Eagle is a patchwork of colours & patterning to help it blend in with dappled sunlight, trees and vines while hunting for prey.

#inktober day 16 - Blunder

Did you know that penguins tend not to fear humans. In fact, since the only creatures that walk on two legs in the arctic are penguins, they likely think that people are just large penguins!

#inktober day 15 - Ragged

In urban environments there aren't enough safe nesting materials. Pigeons often use trash to nest, threads get tangled around their chicks feet, cut off corculation and amputate them as they grow.🥺

#inktober day 14 - Trunk

Did you know that the Oxpecker bird has a symbiotic relationship with large mammals, like elephants. They get a steady food source, and the elephants get to be free of pests like skin parasites. 🐘

#Inktober day 13 - Drink

Did you know there's a species of bird that drinks blood? The Vampire Ground Finch is known to peck at other birds to draw blood and then to drink their fill. Spooky! 🧛

#Inktober day 12 - Shredded

Did you know that parrots are natural foragers, so supplying them with objects to tear and shred is good enrichment for them in captivity.

#inktober day 10 - Sweep

Did you know the Chimney Swift got it's name because they nest inside chimneys, and chimney sweeps could not brush away the soot until the chicks had left.
