New bird species idea - needs name

Postby SnowStar » Sat Jan 05, 2013 5:10 am

Planing out a few more species for my comic, Never Give Up Never Surrender.
Since it will be based on it's own planet, it needed it's own stuff rather then flopping earth animals in it, yes?

This is a small bird species, common, and the size of a sparrow.
When having it's wings rested and at it's side it looks similar to a sparrow, but when it's wings are stretches or when it is flying a smaller, bottom pair of wings are visible. They tend to glide as much as they can to conserve energy.

Males and females are easy to tell apart. Only the males have a small feathered crest on the top of their head that runs down to the base of the neck, and the males have two long pheasant (or peafowl, still choosing) like feathers with the tail. These display feathers come in a variety of colors and patterns. The normal tail feather will fan out when in flight, and the display feathers will fan out to the sides.

I used this tutorial to help with the normal side view and skull looks (I didn't want to get the legs and other stuff messed): clicky
I got the top and bottom wing idea from looking at pictures of Wright Brother planes. c:

Name, and color idea, are very much welcomed.
Normal comments welcomed as well. ^^
So full of hate were our eyes
That none of us could see
Our war would yield countless dead
But never victory
So let us cast arms aside
And like discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe
Whilst we find the path

After giving it some though I think I will make the display feather similar to a pheasants. Peafowl feathers are shown in the picture, and it will be edited in a minute. The display feathers will be kind like these, for looks. Although the colors can be a rainbow of any color. c:
