Bird Triplets
So @missterious-figure made a new DCA AU called Wine and Feathers and I love it so I have birdfied three of my OCs! They are based off of barn owls but I gave them more unnatural colors than the usual white and cream colors irl barn owls got cause I don’t have to stick with them right? So, these are the Warrior Bird Triplets (Guerrero Triplets in the OG version lol-), their names being Abigail, Adira and Alanis.
First we have Abigail, who is the eldest yet the smallest one of the triplets, very charming and quite the flirt. A bit of a diva, think of Rarity from MLP, give her feathers and more pink and purple, and you have Abby! Most femme of the trio.
Next up we have Adira, the middle triplet and the one with most… issues. In their former residence, they were treated less than decently and so Adira gained a scar and trust issues due to so. With strangers she rather uninterested at best and extremely hostile at worst. If she cares about you though, she will be quite loving. Most futch of the trio.
And lastly we have Alanis, the youngest of the triplets yet the biggest! She is actually trans (MtF)! She is cheerful, bright and a bit of a dummy. A bit of a mix of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie (it’s easy to compare my OCs with MLP ponies). She is a total herbo and the most butch of the trio.
And yeah, they can twist their heads a full on 270 degrees, it be normal but understandably terrifying for those who aren’t used to seeing humanoid owls do so lol. Gals be fluffy birds too so hugging them would be super nice :3
At first, I was thinking of making Adira and Alanis bartenders while Abigail be a performer with Sun, she loves the spotlight, but then I realized, I don't actually know what jobs the humanoid birds would have in the AU and I am unsure if being a bartender is an option for them. Once I know more, I'll try and choose a job for them but for now they kind of unemployed lol. But if anyone has any job ideas that you might think would suit them, I am more than happy to hear about them! Abigail still a performer tho, that's for sure!
Good to know! Okay, having this information now, I can now safely say the next about the Warrior Bird Triplets: Abigail: The one who loves the spotlight the most, adores it when people stare in awe at her. Can become a lil jealous whenever the peacocks appear tho because they would hog all the attention. Still, she is pretty friendly with them and can be civil with them. When not performing, she would brush her feathers and preen herself because she likes looking her best. Would let people pet her as long as they don't mess up her feathers that she worked so hard to put in a perfect hairstyle. Would peck someone if they annoyed her or crossed any boundary of hers, did so once, got scolded but she didn't care. Her handler is a girl who needs to need more supervision than the harpy herself, the handler can be a bit of a dumbass at times but does her job well enough. Abby likes her a lot. (Will be a chaotic duo at times lol-) Adira: Not the biggest fan of performing, she mostly does it to please her sisters, after all, the three would have been taken into the casino as a packaged deal because hey, colorful triplet harpies are absolutely amazing ya know? (at least in my opinion, don't know by casino standards-) When not performing, she would stick around the bar most of the time and try and stay away from people as much as possible. Very indifferent about the peacocks in general, but she dislikes Moon the most. She would only really trust her sisters and her handler who be a very sweet guy, a bit too trusting at times (probably becomes a guard bird for him lol-). Would be the only human allowed to pet her.
Alanis: Loves performing mostly because she has her sisters with her, kind of a dummy. Most hyper and friendly (and oblivious) of the triplets, she likes almost everyone in the casino and often doesn't realize if someone is trying to be mean to her. Admires the peacocks, especially Eclipse, cause they all so majestic and very nice to look at and their feathers! She would say so a lot, it almost gets irritating. Is the type to turn her head 180 when someone says 'Don't look now but the guy behind you-' and the other person be like 'I just said don't!'. Loves it when people pet her. It's a bad habit of hers that appears will never stop happening. Her handler is a rather small guy, both for harpies and human (male) standards and she loves how small and holdable he is.
And that's it for now! I'll possibly add more to this later on.
If you don't mind me asking, what jobs can the birds do and not do in the casino? They can perform, we can see that, but can they do anything else like bartend and stuff? Take your time answering this, no rush, just curious as I wish to write a fic about the Wine and Feathers AU and I wanna make sure I get things right!
The casino only takes rare or colorful harpies. Each bird is taken care of by a handler or a handler takes care of a few individuals. But the birds are mainly there to look pretty. And not all of them perform. For the casino, harpies beauty is the most important thing. If they were working actual jobs, that could compromise their appearance.
Some just stay in the safari area to be looked at. Though, all harpies are allowed to go to the bar. Some just choose not to.

Hey guys, this isn’t a yandere post at all but I have a lot of followers and I wanted people to know this.
TW below for severe animal abuse, if this is a trigger please do not read! I can give a less detailed explanation, feel free to ask

John Hopkins University is currently letting students perform horrific experiments on innocent barn owls. The details are shocking and terrible, including putting electrodes into their brain while they are awake, then forcing them to watch flashing lights for 12 hours at a time. It’s supposedly to help understand ADHD from what I’ve gathered. They hold the owls eyes open forcibly and they are killed at the end of the experiment. If anyone has any resources or ways to spread this information, please let me know and I’ll add them to the post. Although a recent PETA advertisement (I know, it’s PETA, but apparently they aren’t making it up this time) has brought some light to this, it needs to be heard louder. If you’re going to research this know it is deeply disturbing and to me, heartbreaking. Thank you for reading this, please keep being kind and even if it’s small, protect what you can, and love what you can. Don’t be like them.
I was commissioned to create an owl necklace… this is what I came up with!
Was revisiting some old childhood favorite films and ive got to say owls of garhoole is the most unhinged! Like theres owl nazis, stoner echidnas and electromagnetic bats?! What?! So i drew eggstein when they were moonblinked because they look very funny.
My most recent WIP! (Still needs some work on the feet and other stuff) Its some sort of dromeosaur not a mononykus btw! Its just that i also took insperation from barn owls
Also yes it is free standing on its own two legs!! I dont know what sort of witch craft i have performed but it sure does work!!!
