I haven't observed many fights between the Agami Herons, but these two males were late arrivals to the colony and they seemed to be trying to find a mate in the same neighborhood. There was a lot jabbing and clacking of bills. (Unfortunately I couldn't use the audio because of talkative humans.)

my college was home to a canadian goose flock/colony so every now and then I see ppl get kicked/chased/bit or complaining about geese problems
I was like that's going to be the whirl species

Thank you!!!!

OOOOO great species suggestion! No worries haha my pick for species is continuity-based (vol 1 of this series featured multiple meg/ops from different stories and they're different species), this version only applies to IDW sw, so one soundwave from another continuity can still be a lyrebird hehe

OMG AAAAAA I'm soooo glad u said this❤!!! YASSSSSS my way of birbifying characters leans more to the "real birds/existing species" side so instead of adding mech parts I try to pattern feathers referencing both color distributions of the original designs and the species I picked😭❤

TY!!!!!
Whirl is 100% canadian goose incarnate

i think its understandable why artists can churn out personal art quicker than comms sometimes, I mean if I get my own characters details wrong or its a bit inconsistent, its not gonna hurt anyone, but for a paid piece of work uh YEAH, there's real stakes in it now!
