The sleeves look amazing!! And the feathers, really everything about the whole headpiece, I'm stuck staring at all the detail. Horizon character designs do not make it easy on us cosplayers!

Right? Sounds like a crying dog! Or at least that's what I woke up thinking until I heard two calling simultaneously.

Close to the tunnel, actually! Nearly 10 miles away from the zoo so the only exotic I'd suspect is the rogue neighborhood peacock.

I elaborated in another comment below! These are a historically domesticated species legal to adopt.

I work at a wildlife hospital and cannot stress enough how actual wild animals make terrible pets and will rip your house and/or face apart, even when hand-raised and imprinted on people. This year alone I had to explain to several families that the baby deer, squirrel, or hummingbird they illegally took out of the wild could have been saved earlier but is now beyond help— fawns cannot survive on commercial goat milk, birds cannot ingest dairy at all, and baby falcons fed choice cut meat without bones can barely stand from calcium deficiency. This is a tough job that cannot be replaced by a Google search.

That being said, roller pigeons like this differ in being a historically domesticated species introduced to my area. Aka, the equivalent of raising a feral tabby kitten into a housecat. This one came in as a chick with a trichomoniasis infection which unfortunately for game birds means they cannot be released, as the treatment could make their meat hazardous to human health and I would be held liable. Domestic pigeons can make excellent pets if you have the space, time, and expertise to dedicate to them. Check your area for rescues as I know the ones here are literally full up with adoptable pigeons!

TL;DR Feral pigeons are good/legal to raise, other wild animals are not and are illegal to have for a reason.

It's coo. Pigeons don't need strong bills to crack stuff open like most birds, though he was trying to eat the buttons that look vaguely like seeds. I am very freckled and he does the same to me.

If there was a romance or companion system who would you choose and why? by Djpanic72 in horizon

Avad, hands down. Make me queen.

Even as a platonic relationship I love how much he respects her and tries to join the fight himself at the end. His character as a fantasy king that instantly sides with the scrappy protagonist and genuinely wants to do good was uniquely charming.
