oh hey a parrot therian! Hello! :) I myself am a creature of some sort (tm) Are you a pet parrot, or more of a wild parrot?
I DONT KNOW HOW I NEVER SAW THIS I LITERALLY JUST FOUND THE INBOX FUNCTION IM SO SORRY
probably both? if i was my theriotype in a past life i feel like i would have been wild but captured in the pet trade yk. i really love going outside but the modern-day convenience of showers is great
thank you for asking! again im SO sorry š
do you get phantom limbs? And if so what kind are most prominent?
OMG YES I DO
iād say the most prominent is my phantom crest feathers! i feel them just about constantly and they fluff up whenever i get excited :7
after that id say a beak, toes and tail feathers, which i really only get during shifts. i donāt really get phantom wings very much but maybe i could change that :3
ALSO ILL GET AROUND TO ALL MY REQUESTS IM SORRY GUYS!! dissociation and school has been kicking my ass lately š
this is me btw. if you care even
crow therian here, if you get phantom limbs, where do you usually get them? I usually get phantom wings on my back, but can feel feathers on my arms sometimes. If you don't get phantom limbs then another question: do you like MoTHs
anyways yeah your cool
bye bye
OMG HI!!! i think iāve answered a question like this before but i mainly get phantom crest feathers! when iām shifted i get wings, a beak, toes etc
iāve also noticed that it feels like iām moving imaginary muscles to move my crest, does anybody else get that? like i know logically i look ridiculous raising my eyebrows so much when excited BUT IM RAISING MY CREST!! I JUST HAVE MUSCLES THAT ARENT THERE
also uh does MoTH stand for something /gen š IF YOU MEAN THE BUG THEN ABSOLUTELY ā¤ļø iāve been hoping to meet any moth therians
thank you for asking!! :3
does a bird cha-cha slide into ur asks
may I request a 'how I look with they/she in my bio' with, you guessed it, secretary birds? :>
(and I'd love it if you included both 'serious' and 'goofy' pictures! birds are hilarious when photographed front on that is a fact)
sorry for taking so long!!
i tried to include both serious and silly photos but let me know if youād like anything different!
Hey! Can I please have a āhow I look with they/he/she in my bioā with sandpipers please?
exceedingly silly,,
LITERALLY!! itās so hard to find even other aviankin let alone other parrots. therians make up a LOT of tumblr otherkin spaces so i canāt imagine how lonely it must be for other nonhumans with rarer kins :<
being an uncommon kin can be such a lonely experience. I can't connect with others and share experiences or thoughts about said kin.
š
for me my shifts are like petreg and agere rolled into one! because iām a bird but also a bird whoās basically a toddler with a beak and claws and I Need To Scream
saw this and thought of u :^) i know its not ur exact kintype but- still- <3
IM GONNA CRY /POSā¦.. THANK YOUā¦ā¦
kinsidering that i might also be some kind of squirrel iām ngl š it would explain the phantom ears and tail but not the things on my back. and obviously i know phantom limbs donāt make a theriotype! itās just something iām thinking about because i have a lot of squirrel-like traits and tendencies maybe
WHAT!!!!!!
HAPPY THERIANTHROPY DAY!!
i hope your day is filled with woofs, meows, growls, barks, borfs, mrrfs, yips, grrrs, reows, blubs, rawrs, awroooos, yows, sniffs and everything else!!!!
OH MANā¦ let me think
- pants that make your legs look/feel like your theriotypes (black/grey tights for me)
-clothing with similar texture to feathers/down
-stim toys like sand (since youāre a sandpiper maybe?) or things that feel like branches
-a black beanie since youāre a black-capped chickadee maybe?
-heels/platforms? especially heels because they feel like back toes for me :3
-a scarf! you could drape it so itās around your shoulders and feels like wings, helped a lot for me :3 also gloves because it feels like i have feathers on my wings
um uh i may come up with more! sorry these are so clothing centered ^^ā i hope these help at all!
plz help the birdkin (me)
Itās almost Christmas and people are asking me what I want them to buy me.
I need ideas for Bird Therian Stuffā¢ļø that nobody will notice.
Specifically Iām a black-capped chickadee, bluebird, and sandpiper.
I donāt know why Iām behaving so strangely right now, so I apologize if this post seems like it was written by a third grader lmao
@cheesecake-the-chicken is the only bird therian Iāve ever interacted with here so Iāll just tag him here in case heās got any advice
@the-radio-star-is-a-kookaburra is this trueā¦
ME!!!!! ME ME ME
okay I'm seeing people in the tags upset with the lack of non-canine therians.
if you are a therian who is NOT a canine, please interact with this post and get your visibility out there!
maybe this will lessen the aggravation of others!
Saving this for later, these sound fun :)
I canāt climb trees thoughā¦ not strong and donāt know how. Iām a dragon and a raven so I wanna be up high! But Iām a little scared of heights because I have no wings to catch me if I fallā¦

ways to feel animalistic/in touch with your kintype āØferal editionāØ
i see a lot of posts in the therian community like "canine activities" or "how to feel in touch with your kin" but it's all targeted towards domesticated critters, or things that are private / non-offensive to the public. whilst there's nothing wrong with that and they're useful, it leaves part of the community behind; the FERAL KINS. we're not domesticated- we're rabid creatures who belong in the dirt and DAMN IT are we gonna get in it no matter what Deborah the Neighbor has to say about it!!!!
is all of this good, healthy, or acceptable to do in public? no! but none of its illegal (probably), and you only live once am i right. also this list is non-harmful to the environments that you exist in :)
onto the list!
š-eat some wild plants! i'd recommended having a general knowledge of your local ecology so you don't et somethin poisonous, but there's nothin like going outside and just deciding to graze on the grass, or sample some leaves.
š-dig a hole! if you're an animal who create underground dens or digs, gettin the dirt is always fun! doing this at the beach will net you less stares, but the park is admittedly more fun. i'd recommended gloves and/or gardening claws to make it easier and safer (especially if you live somewhere with dangerous underground fellas)
->off of this, rolling/playing in the dirt/on the ground is super fun too! if you wear out some clothes that are old its easier too. i personally prefer to wear shorts & T-shirts so that my arms + legs are actually exposed to the ground. more fun to roll that way!!
š-chase some wildlife! if your out digging or running around, your pretty much bound to come across some lizards, small animals, or birds; if your a predator don't be afraid to chase em around! and if you catch them, good on you! probably free them, though- whilst in our hearts we belong to the ecosystem we don't in our current bodies and as such shouldn't disrupt it by harming animals ourselves. (but feel free to think that you are on the hunt! i sure do lol)
š-define your territory! if you frequent a park/forest/area where you do your therian/otherkin activities, mark it as yours! you could follow the ways of your kintype (though public urination is illegal) or try a more human way such as tying pieces of (preferably biodegradable) ribbon around tree branches, digging holes at each corner of your territory, or simply patrolling around. if you're like me and are completely shameless, you can also survey your territory from your favorite spot and scowl at people who d a r e enter your land (usually they don't notice me , or at least pretend they don't lol).
-> i find this helps a lot, because now i have a space that when i go to it, it immediately makes me shift because this is my territory, with my den that i dug out, that i protect with my life!! my stuff bark bark!!!
->i also find that acting like your kintype within your territory is really good but that kinda goes without saying haha. but for example if your a bunny dig yourself a burrow to spend most of your time in, or if your a cheetah climb a tree and survey from up above!
š-go for a frolic! it's honestly a great way to get exercise in, just go to your territory (or any park/area that's like your environment) and run, jump and move at your own pleasure! enjoy being free, untamed, wild and spirited like the freaky little critter you are!!! mimicking the movements of your kintype is also fun to do when you frolic :) i usually frolic , climb up something, survey my surroundings and sniff around, then climb down & repeat (mimicking cheetahs & bunnies)
š-play in the water if you have some nearby! many parks have small lakes or rivers running through them, and whilst you cant get into them , there's nothing stopping you watching the fish go by, sticking your hand in, prodding things in the water with a stick, or chasing the ducks! there's something that feels very animalistic to me about appreciation water idk!
that's all i got for today but let me know if you critters enjoy this and i'll add some more!! i'm also thinking of doing a water & sky version of this since most of these things are really only for terrestrial critters.
also hey if you are looking for activities for your specific kintype, don't be afraid to send me an ask! i'd be more than happy to help brainstorm some good activities for you :]
*stares at you with my autistic eyes*
these are my wingkin wings, they are barn owl wings ^^
