Some of you ladies are incredible artists and have added yourselves? in birdstyle to your avatars. Have all of the new team members been complied anywhere? I'd love to see all of them together.

hey Becky...those avatars came from Thunder Bird. He's a fantastic artist that offered to make all of us into birdies...all we had to do was tell him some of the features we wanted (hair color, eye color, etc.) and the bird we wanted to be... We haven't seen him around here lately, but he is still drawing pics over at Deviant Art. I'm sure he'd do one for you, too! Here are some of the pics he did (hopefully I can find and post them all):

Here are some group pics he did... Ok...Thunder Bird is in front, then me (the Dove), and I see Ebonyswanne (the Black Swan) and CD (the Snowy Owl)...and I can't remember who the other one is...is that LB (the Raven)? Metaliant (the golden Eagle, I think) is in the front, then TJ (Purple Honey), Merlin (Hinotori), and Osprey (Katsesama)

Zoessister (the Cardinal) Gatchgal (the female Condor) Forgive me, but who was the Merlin Hawk? Nevermind...CD set me straight...it's Hino!

Me (Dove) and Katsesama (Osprey) and Jun Katsesama (Osprey) TJ (Purple Honey) LB (Raven) Metaliant (Golden Eagle) Thunder Bird in civvies

Ebonyswanne (Black Swan) Maltese Falcon ( I can't remember who?) Thunder Bird head shot Thunderbird meets the Swan

Ken and Jun The Dove in civvies (I sing Karaoke at Jun's (with Purple Honey) in my free time- LOL) TB did this one for me...LOL in my dreams! Firebird (Firebird? Phoenix?) Springie (Dove)

Iknow I left some of you off....I didn't have SJ's saved...maybe you can add yours, SJ? And I know there are more...I just can't find them! Please add on any I've forgotten, guys...it's kinda neat to see them all together like this...

This one is Hino!

Hino!! *smacks head* how could I forget???!! So sorry, Hino!

'Tis ok, Springie. I forgive you - this time. Guess this means I need to pop onto the boards a little more often, if people are forgetting who I am!!

We'll never forget you, baybee!

Thanks, Sprinigie!

They're all wonderful! And so much fun to play with!

But we would love it if you could drop onto the board more often Hino. Your Eagle presence is missed around her

Those are all so cool! Thanks to everyone who posted them and if you're out there, Thunderbird, you're a great artist! If I had a choice, I'm not sure what personna I'd want to take. I'll have to think on it, as so many are already taken. My favorite color is peach, but I don't know of any bird who is peach. Next is blue..Blue Jay, Peacock, Parrot...they don't sound very awe inspiring. I just asked my son and he said chose Pterodactyl or Dragon.

Now dragon would be interesting..... Hmmmm, peach? Well you could be a peach love bird if you want to go with an existing bird, or I am sure you could take another breed and decide to add your colour. You know a peach coloured kingfisher would be nice.

My avatar was inspired by Thunderbirds drawing, but added to by another great fan LB... she gave it that extra pizzazz.

These are all awesome! It's the first time I've seen all these avatars together and this thread explains a lot regarding their existence! I agree with Becky Rock ... Thunderbird is a great artist! I wonder if the "Maltese Falcon" represents someone of my same nationality! The avatar has Maltese crosses all over and she has brown hair and brown eyes like me! I am envying all the curves right now!

Stardust is the Maltese Falcon. She hasn't been around here too much lately. I believe she lives in the United States, but she could have some ties to Malta.

Now there's a boy, alright! However, there's no denying that both these creatures can fly. The only peach-coloured bird that I can think of would be a flamingo. Don't feel compelled to be ornithologically correct, though, where colours are concerned. I have a lot of purple in my uniform, but I've never seen a purple raven!
