Pronoun Trouble

You called? :D

(Siamese rats are a thing!? askfasdflkajsaflfflcuuuuuuute)

OK, so here are this bird lover's 'pinions. :D :D :D

The warmest (temperature-wise, right?) part of a bird's wing is its armpit, and the warmth runs up in a very similar formation to your arm, big veins on the ventral side of the bones. So, the leading edge can be very warm, but the trailing edge is likely to be quite cool - that's all feather, and it's about as alive as hair is, though it'll be warmed by the bird underneath as the wings are folded.

If the bird is generally light-colored with brown coloration, it's probably going to have yellow or red legs - of course, you can do what you like. ^^ Of my birds, the light-colored ones (blue, yellow/green and white) all have pink to red feet. ("Blue" is actually a "no pigment here" thing with birds, like a cat's white patches. The blue is structural interference from the way their feathers are put together, which is why blue iridescence is so common in birds. And that is probably more information than you wanted, lol.)

Darker birds will often have grey to black feet. I have one on the darker side of things - grey/green - and he's got the cutest pinky-grey feet. Something like a swan or goose will have grey through brown to black feet, though there are exceptions there, too.

Most raptors seem to be on the yellow-to-pink side. Here are some fine examples. And an eagle's talons for fun - though that is a Harpy and a little bigger than your average bird. :D

(Of course, when I draw my gryphon OC, she always has black feet even though her raptor species wouldn't. IDK.) So I think you can do whatever you prefer in the name of ART!

OTPs in a bottle. OMG. XDD
