The ever popular angel threads LOL!

Thank you everyone. This all looks amazing. Angelo, that's incredible stuff. Mik, thank you for calling out the lack of a darker bird and posting the Cooper for me

I already posted Skills for the Harbingers and made some changes to wings to swap out Warbler for Raven. Hm... I think I need to think on the Messengers. I want to swap Warbler for Raven here though, too.

Ugh! I just can't help it. I keep falling in love with *warblers!* Okay. I'd like cooper hawk wings underside to go away in all angels and be replaced with Black-and-white Warbler wings. They are exactly what I envisioned. But we mustn't refer to them as warblers because that word makes me want to die LOL! Let's call them by the Latin, which is mniotilta varia. Yes?

Most definately not 'warblers'. tiny grin I'm amazed at how the angel mythology is filling out. This is incredible. Brianne

EJ,

I think warbler sounds fine, personally. Not laughable at all. It would really help with the consistency if we didn't have all the others listed with common names and this one with the Latin. One option would be to list all with Latin names and their common name in parens.

As for the cardinal, you mean the male, yes?

Which kind of dove? There are many.

*sigh*

I agree, Brianne. The whole warbler family is amazing... but... oh Cris! That word... *warbler*... it sounds like something a grandfather does when he tries to sing but, you know, can't.

Um... I guess we can just say warbler in the sourcebook but writers, if they're describing this angel, can just describe the wings and not use the "w" word *shudder*

*Thought* you might like a little spice in your coffee, grrl!

Well, if you want a gold dove, you'll have to settle for a pendant, 'cause that's the only gold on a dove I could find. But, a pure white dove (with varieties into the cream range) are quite beautiful. Let's go with that.

Well, EJ the truth is that the word "warbler" means someone who sings with trills and quavers" (werbler ) and the alternatives are just as glorious sounding: wirbil (rhymes with gerbil an interesting connection . . . ) but the word actually originates in the word "whirl" go figure. The bluebird is considered a warbler, but it doesn't sing much. Nor, apparently, do other birds in the warbler family.

I don't know . . . it has a kind of wring to it warble warble warbler....
