I just learned you can pin posts here, so time for a pin!

I'm Aves/Avery, an illustrator, bird nerd, and creator of the Griffinch. I work both digitally and with traditional mediums such as pencil and watercolors. I post pictures of my finches (almost) daily 🐥💕

Kneesvember 2025 Day 4
The three knights are beside their respective steeds on the ground layered in yellow oak leaves. The yellow knight has a bumblebee, who is eating from a plate of flowers; the blue knight, who has a crossbow and an eyepatch, has a dragonfly who is eating from a bucket of pink slop; the red knight, speaking expressively with wings spread wide, has a snail. Later that evening, the knights packed for their queste. "I have ne'er afore encountered a Dragon" admitted the yellow knight, who fought for honour and glory, "are they large beasts?" "And where shall we seek one?" added the blue knight, who was very cool. "Friends! Worry not, for I am an expert in such matters! said the red knight, who was a great liar. Note: there is a small drawing of Grell and Bagglyn watching the knights very obviously from behind a fence.

Some details about about the ornaments:
- they're acrylic paint on raw wood; a mix of standard acrylic and model acrylic paints
- they take 3-4 hours each to paint
- they will be for sale in my online store near the end of this month!

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Every Sharp-shinned Hawk I've ever seen looked like it was worried it left the stove on.

🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt
Rough digital drawing of a Sharp-shinned Hawk bust. The hawk is in profile. It is a complex mottled color of browns and grays, with a small hooked beak, round head, rufous tinting to the auriculars, and a huge bright yellow eye that makes it look worried. Its feathers are slicked back tight to the body indicating it is alert.

Baby Brown Thornbill!!!
#birds
Photograph of a juvenile Brown Thornbill - a very small passerine bird - perched on a thin branch. The bird is fluffy and round, with a light belly, striated breast, brown head, and brown wings and tail. Its gape is light yellow and its eyes are dark, indicating its immaturity.

The winter Finch Forecast looks good this year, I’m determined to finally see my nemesis bird (the Redpoll).

If I see one, Redpoll Griffinches might be a thing next year…

I love when the Eastern Towhees pass through during migration. They distract me and lure me outside with their piercing “treeeeat” call!

Not birds, but some absolutely amazing news 🐥

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.
