Description
Adios (Addy, for short.) is one of our many beautiful falcons.
I have to say, perhaps one of the most beautiful birds we have!
He is a hybrid, a Gyr x Saker, and a totally stunning flier. Super speedy, leaves everything in his dust; hence his name!
He comes with us on many outside events, flying for us all across the country.
I drew this for my boss/head falconer/good friend, who is Addy's trainer.
She made me a gorgeous bracelet in return. A trade of sorts.

I should add a note: Birds of prey do not make good pets! They should not be kept as pets!
I work at a bird of prey centre - The birds I work with live there!

I don't really time how long I work, because I work my full time job I don't have long periods of time every day to work on art.
I worked on this on and off over a week, if that helps. x:

I really need to comment on your stuff again (I'm so sorry).
Anyway, I really love how this turned out. He really does look like a lovely bird, and he's a falcon so bonus points there. I absolutely love falcons, and I think you got the anatomy down spot on. I love the determined look in his eye, the feather details, and all the markings. The shading is nicely done as well, and the drawing looks like it could be a photograph. Very nice overall!

Were all birds you know given affectionate names?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, all 200+ birds I work with have names.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But are they all from affectionate nicknames?

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.

All the birds you know: did they get their names from affectionate nicknames?

We just give the birds a name that we think suits them.
