Corvids refers to birds belonging to the family Corvidae. Typically associated with birds in the genus Corvus, which includes crows, ravens, and loyalist primarchs, these “true crows” only make up 47 of the 135 current species. Corvids have native habitats in almost every place on Earth, and cover a wide variety of birds from the aforementioned crows and ravens to magpies, jays, and nutcrackers.
I’m gonna try and update the thread with a new corvid each day of the week, there’s a lot of beautiful plummage on some corvids and also a lot of just like little gremlins, so hopefully that’ll be kinda fun.
I hope everybody has a lovely week!

transphobia, friendship positivity
Is it rare that I lost none of my cishet male friends after coming out and they all are great allys? I stopped hanging with cishet guys after high school so it’s not a lot of them, but it seems like this is quite a feat for a gathering of cishet guys to be not terrible
my cis guy friends are more or less on the level (for cis guys…) but i have still become a bit alienated from them over the years:(
The three guys out of my old high school group of lads I’ve come out to have all been great about it. Tbf one is bi and engaged to an envy, one I suspect to be aroace, and one just seems some kind of fruity. So maybe this isn’t a great comparison actually
I only really had one before, still friends with him, yes he’s supportive and cool. My gay woman friend has been much worse, interestingly.

Not sure, but me too. But like half of our common friends are gay or bi so like, maybe that’s why?
All the cishet male friends I have are totally cool, probably because they’ve known other queer or trans people before I came out. One guy who no one is friends with anymore is libertarian crank chud, though, but we all dropped him like 5 years ago (I came out 1.5 years ago to most of my friends, for context).
