I am very happy to see the mini-birbfest (greek edition) continue ✨️ He's very handsome 💛🐦

this made me notice I hid a mistake in the alt text.. 😅 It's an ornate hawk eagle, but the promptlist for birbfest said owl instead, and it seems to have stuck in my brain 🦉

I had this idea of making a list of some of the #birds that are found in Greece and make my own little greek birbfest.
I started with this very colourful european bee-eater. You can see the name in greek as well! #art #digitalart #animalart #birdart #bee-eater
digital painting of a european bee-eater. It is a very colourful bird! I had lots of yellow, brown, green and turquoise plumage. It looks like it's wearing a mask because there is a black stripe running across its eyes starting from the side of its beak. On the left, the word bee-eater is written in greek: Μελισσοφάγος

Rainbow lorikeet from this year's #birbfest.
Painting of a tropical bird. The bird is mainly green, with a purple head, red beak and yellow breast. It is sitting on a brown branch.

A few more of my bird paintings: each has some #black feathers and the ornate hawk eagle, in particular, has oodles of character. See alt for names. #acoloradAyPRIL #weekOforOodles #AlphabetChallenge #EastCoastKin #birbfest #birds #watercolor #watercolour #painting #ArtYear #art
The large picture is an ornate hawk eagle. At the top is green honey creeper with bilateral gynandromorphism (both male and female) hence the blue and green colouring. Below that is a cassowary and at the bottom a spotted pardalote. To its left a common loon and finally a yellow headed black bird.

My favorite bird from Birbfest, not entirely accurate but nice nonetheless #artOnBluesky
A colored pencil drawing on black paper of a yellow-headed blackbird. The face is yellow-orange, there are grey and brown feather on the body. The beak and eyes are large. The bird perches on a pale branch and the background is a golden-like color. pandakong watermarks on it.

Hitchhiking Sparrow and his worm companion. Haven't given them names yet. I did the sketch for his about 2 weeks before I found out about Birbfest, so maybe it was a prediction 👁️
