Saturn is comprised of wavy lines of varying thicknesses, heights, and amounts of hills, and lines of ovals at varying heights and amounts.

I couldn’t resist making more pride birds today, especially after I discovered that the scientific name of the red-tailed comet is Sappho sparganurus. Sappho, you guys!! This bird is named after her!!
Happy pride month everyone!!! Have a bronzewing pigeon. :) (Redbubble)
Finally! The Vosmaeri eclectus for the polyamory flag. While not an orientation or gender identity, the polyam flag is still very popular at pride events.
I thought the eclectus was perfect for this flag because unlike other parrots, they’re nonmonogamous. What a fun coincidence that they happen to match the flag so well and to be a personal favorite of mine.
Genderfluid violet-backed starling! I had a lot of fun drawing this one; I’m getting less afraid to draw iridescence on birds.
Despite all the frustration they cause for American naturalists, starlings are delightful, intelligent creatures. (Redbubble link)
Happy pride month 2021!!! A long-awaited MLM/Vincian/gay men Pride Bird! If you’ve been waiting years for this bird: thanks for your patience. (I’m by no means a full-time artist! I work three other jobs right now.)
I started drawing Pride Birds in 2018, not long after this flag was proposed but before I’d ever seen it. Between then and now, I’ve seen these colors appear in art, online shops, picrew icons, pins on random strangers’ jackets, and as full-sized flags flown at Pride events. I struggled to choose the right bird for the job. There were not a lot of candidates with matching colors–actually, I only found two that were close. The purple gallinule won out over the white-necked jacobin because of its unique shape, the alliteration potential, and because we simply cannot allbe hummingbirds. This big, charismatic waterfowl is a favorite among birdwatchers.
I do want to apologize for any confusion caused by my referring to the rainbow flag as a “gay” flag in the original post–I didn’t mean to imply that either the rainbow flag or the eastern corella pride bird were solely for homosexual men: it’s simply a fact that the rainbow flag was designed for the entire LGBTQ+ community, and so is the rainbow pride bird.
I don’t want to type the long and complex history of the word “gay,” but you’ve probably noticed that the its definition is becoming broader at a rapid pace. Language evolves to suit the needs of the people using it, so even though the term spent several decades being used to refer primarily (but not exclusively!) to men, lots of people who aren’t MLM describe themselves as gay. I might use the words queer, bisexual, or pansexual to refer to myself, but I also sometimes abbreviate my orientation by saying “I’m gay.” That, and the desire to have made L, G, B, T, and Q birds despite not having seen a flag specifically for gay men at the time, are the reasons I worded my original post the way I did. (The post also predates the widespread use of Emily Gwen’s lesbian flag, which is why there are three whole lesbian pride birds. No regerts, though. I hope there are always new pride birds to make.)
