Description I don't have a name yet. I will when inspiration strikes.

I am in love with this bird. I overlooked it when it first came but then I coloured it and drew it in different angles and soon started loving it. I forgot what way the colour were so I coloured rough sketches with two choices- this and an inverted colour choice with the blue and black in each other's places. I couldn't pick one so now there are two coloured birds about.

This bird is an unusual one. Most birds like to fly on nice days with sunshine. Nope. Not this one. It likes to fly in intense winds, if it's lucky, thunder storms. I thought it might get hurt, you know with the lightning and all. But the 'claws' on the wings and tail protect it from injury. When flying in a thunder storm they act as a sort of lightning-rod so when there are close-encounters to lightning, it goes straight to the claws, resulting in no injury! However, when there is too much energy in the claws, (the lightning energy usually gets used up when flying), it becomes hyperactive and looks like a blue blur at times. To get rid of this, the bird likes to drag the claws on muddy ground when flying by tilting to its side. Another way is to crash land into the ground. It doesn't get hurt if it chooses to do this. Its thick bill takes the impact for it.

I was thinking I could pull him off as a Fakemon but decided that he would just be some other bird creature. And thank you!

What an interesting bird! I like the tail and the beak (I'm a big fan of creatures with an extra set of eyes )

Thank you so much! Same here, creatures with extra eyes are so fun to draw and look at
