"D. picta do not feed on living plant matter, as they are detritivores and eat decaying plant matter. They can be found almost anywhere there is decaying vegetation: landfills, temperate deciduous forests, swamps, and even shaded fields."

Jud's R-Wing is a reconditioned military fighter, which he found at an auction for dirt cheap. It could barely start when he found it, but now purrs like a kitten. The military called it a Rotary-Integrated Tactical Assault vehicle. Jud just calls her RITA, for short. During her hey day Rita was used to drop in and provide cover fire for troops. She has three powerful dual laser cannons on each rotor, as well as two heavy guns above the cockpit. Now Jud uses her when he thinks he might be in a situation where he needs to make a quick get a way, and have the fire power to back it up with.
This male Red-winged Blackbirds did everything he could to get attentions from female red-winged blackbirds.

The Winged Hussars were elite, heavy cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, famed for their imposing, feathered wings attached to their armor, which intimidated enemies. These aristocratic warriors, heavily armored and wielding long lances, sabers, and pistols, dominated Central European battlefields through spectacular charges, most famously breaking the Ottoman siege at the Battle of Vienna in 1683, solidifying their legend as one of history's most effective shock cavalry.

Parrots are one of the most colorful members of the entire bird kingdom. They can be cute and cuddly, and sometimes, simply awe you with their majesty and elegance. Parrots have many sub-species. Macaws, cockatoos, cockatiels and budgies are some examples. They are often referred to as winged rainbows...

The black-winged kite (Elanus caeruleus), also known as the black-shouldered kite (not to be confused with the closely related Australian species with the same name), is a small diurnal bird of prey in the family Accipitridae best known for its habit of hovering over open grasslands in the manner of the much smaller kestrels. This Eurasian and African species was sometimes combined with the Australian black-shouldered kite (Elanus axillaris) and the white-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus) of North and South America which together form a superspecies. This kite is distinctive, with long wings; white, grey and black plumage; and owl-like forward-facing eyes with red irises. The owl-like behaviour is even more pronounced in the letter-winged kite (Elanus scriptus), a nocturnal relative in Australia. Although mainly seen on plains, they are sometimes seen on grassy slopes of hills in the higher elevation regions of Asia. They are not migratory, but show nomadism in response to weather and food availability. They are well adapted to utilize periodic upsurges in rodent populations and can raise multiple broods in a single year unlike most birds of prey. Populations in southern Europe have grown in response to human activities, particularly agriculture and livestock rearing.

Mrs. Dalloway, In the Garden
Max Richter
Yesterday in the garden,
among the fragrant flowers
our winged dance I dreamed.
Our winged love was gentle,
our winged love was sweet.
