Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.

Verdins (Auriparus flaviceps) are small, desert-dwelling songbirds native to the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico. These songbirds are true architects of nature.

Adorned with feathers, lichen, and other embellishments, their nests are nothing short of breathtaking. What's even more fascinating? Unlike migratory birds, Verdins call the desert home year-round. In fact, one Arizona pair astounded observers by crafting a whopping 11 nests in just one year! #taninobirds #paridae2024 #feathruary2024 #verdin #birdpainting #wildlifeartist #birdartist #birdportrait #birdillustration #clippaintstudio #animalillustration #birdofinstagram #animalpainting #yellowbird #passerine #birbs #natureartist #artchallenge2024 #paintingbird #paintinganimals

The chestnut-backed chickadee (Poecile rufescens) is primarily found in the western parts of North America, ranging from Alaska to California. Did you know that the Chestnut-backed Chickadee is a master at nest-making? These little birds utilize a plethora of fur to craft their cozy homes, with up to half of the nest material sourced from furry finds! Commonly incorporating rabbit, coyote, and deer hair, they also get creative with fur from skunks, cats, horses, or cows. Their attention to detail doesn't stop there - adults carefully layer fur, about half an inch thick, to shield their precious eggs when they temporarily step away from the nest. Nature's ingenuity never ceases to amaze! #taninobirds #paridae2024 #feathruary #feathruary2024 #birdart #birdpainting #naturepainting #avianart #featheredfriends #artisticbirds #birdlovers #natureart #wildlifeart #avianbeauty #wildlifepainting #birdingcommunity #featheredart #birdartchallenge #chestnutbackedchickadee #chickadee #chickadeeart #birdobservation
The Yellow Penduline-Tit (Anthoscopus parvulus) is a small, lively bird native to sub-Saharan Africa.

This combination reflects the bird's behavior of searching among blossoms or flowers for food or shelter. On the other hand, the specific epithet "parvulus" originates from Latin and means "very small." It is derived from "parvus," which simply means "small." This name emphasizes the diminutive size of the bird, highlighting its petite and delicate stature. #taninobirds #paridae2024 #paridae #pendulinetit #birdpainting #feathruary2024 #digitalpaintings #wildlifeartist #natureartwork #birdartist #clippaintstudio #birdillustration #animalillustration #titmice #titbird #chickadee #chickadeeart #yellowbird #artchallenges

The pin-tailed whydah (Vidua macroura) And some fun facts: ▫️these birds are native to sub-Saharan Africa, with their range spanning from Senegal in West Africa to Ethiopia and down to South Africa. They inhabit a variety of open habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and agricultural areas. ▫️one of the most fascinating aspects of the pin-tailed whydah is its mimicry behavior. During the breeding season, male pin-tailed whydahs undergo a remarkable transformation. They mimic the appearance of the long-tailed widowbird (Euplectes progne), which is a larger and entirely black bird with long tail feathers. This mimicry is used to attract females during courtship displays. ▫️the pin-tailed whydah is a brood parasite, which means that it lays its eggs in the nests of other bird species. The female pin-tailed whydah selects a host bird, often a small finch, and lays her eggs in the host's nest. The host bird then raises the whydah chicks alongside its own, often at the expense of its own offspring. ♥ #taninobirds #birdtober #birdart #birdpainting #pintailedwhydah #avianart #wildlifeart #birdillustration #natureart #birdtoberchallenge #featheredfriends #artisticbirds #birdsofafrica #birdlovers #avianbeauty #wildlifepainting #birdingart #colorfulbirds #birdtober2023 #birdwatching #birdsinart #birdingcommunity #wildlifewednesday #featheredart #birdartchallenge

The ancient Greeks had a legend about the competition of birds to become their king, and the title is awarded to the one who can fly the highest. It seemed that the eagle would obviously win, but when he began to tire, a small bird, hiding under the feathers, flew even higher and won the title.

The Eurasian golden oriole (Oriolus oriolus) for #birdtober2022 It seems that this is the most frequently drawn bird by me, i mean comissions and just for myself.

The common myna or Indian myna (Acridotheres tristis) for #birdtober2022 The common myna practices up to two roosts at a time; a temporary summer roost near the breeding site (where the entire local male community sleeps in the summer, during the period of greatest aggression), and a permanent year-round roost where the female broods and incubates all night. Both male and female common lanes are fiercely protective of both roosts, leading to further exclusion of other native birds. #taninobirds #commonmyna #indianmyna #beautifulbirds #amazinganimals #amazingbirds #quicksketching #sketchbookshare #insidemysketchbook #showyoursketchbook #sketchbookpages #sketchbookpage #sketchbookpractice #sketchbookspread #mixedmediasketchbook #birdtober #birdsketch #animalsketch #birddrawing #drawinganimals #animalportrait
