Owls and ravens. They look creepy and yet so majestic. When you see an owl flying, it’s like holy shit. Sometimes they fly really slow, and they make no noise at all. It’s pretty amazing. They also have really neat looking feathers and colours, although seeing that in detail live is pretty tough. Also they have cool faces.
Ravens here can get pretty huge, they almost look like eagles. I was told there are no ravens in my area…well if not, these are some fucking huge ass crows then.
Ravens are also very peculiar, and they’re apparently pretty smart. Keeping watch from high places as their buddies are eating, then if potential danger appears, the guardian sounds the alarm.
Once, I was sitting at some picnic table, and there was a seagull on the ground, near some discarded pizza crust or something. A raven came, landed some ways behind the gull. It started walking really fast towards the crust. He looked so funny and cute, waddling over there. Then it nabbed the crust and flew off. As it did though, a flock of ravens some ways off that I had not noticed all flew off at the same time, screeching like mad, as if to cheer their friend that got the food. That poor seagull was scared shitless and totally flew off like a maniac lol. I myself was rather startled. I’m like shit, what’s goin on? (I did once see a seagull attacking a raven in midair though, and it was pretty much kicking its ass)
Condors are slick too, but I’ve never seen one in real life. I also love butterflies.
