>>12025 >TotT Likely holes in hills, like caves. I'd imagine avians would fer being flooded since it'd fuck over their feathers' boons while denying potential escape, and in case of really strong winds and water currents, stilted houses don't exactly hold. I wouldn't expect underground nests to be a thing in early prehistory because of ease of access by predators when compared to hillholes, but they could serve as adaptations to steppe colonisation in places where the currents combine to seriously stir up weather capriciousness. Oh yeah, they'd also help against arctic/antarctic current being axed by some other gulfstream/atacama coast effect to whirr in an equatorly heading and cause unexpected deserts, a fuckton of snow, or really, really cold winters.

>>12025 Didn't notice the rentry got filtered as spam. Here it is: rentry (dot) org/birbgeneral >>12336 Yea, rain would be the worst weather for avians, and let's not talk about floods or tsunamis, that would be the end for them if they live in lower sites. I've always imagined that avians would live in very tall places, something like pic rel (buildings of the eagle tribe from Legends of Chima), once they have the tools to do that. But in the meantime, hill and mountain holes sound like the best options for the early times.

>>12471 sweet Mother of Jesus, those images are giving me a boner for exterior design I have not had in 4 years On another note, tall buildings have the major skill issue of having to account for the cumulative stresses of increasing wind speed with height. I'd picture really tall, stilted stuff to only be possible in valleys that either had the hills sculpted to cut strong winds with turbulences or are surrounded by progressively shorter buildings to airbrake feasibly. On the other hand, buildings built into hillsides would seem like the cheapest hi-tech natural-disaster-hardened option. And one can expect prehistoric shelters to continue in a modernized form, since prehistoric ideas always hitchhike off a local efficiency maximum, reached with progressively smaller increments thanks to technological development. In calm climates however, anything fucking goes. Go wild with imagination.

>>12025 nice seeing /birb/ again it is time to show 8ch who the queen of avians is >TotT whether primitive or modern, I see birbs inhabiting throughout the height of a ravine; they might be simply carved holes, nestle-like contruction often joining with each other by vines, or simply modern arquitecture

I posted a ghost reply in the previous thread to bring more people here, a bit late though. I hope they could read it. I also added more VR avatars in the rentry and changed some style aspects of it. >>12637 >those images are giving me a boner for exterior design I have not had in 4 years That's why Chima is perhaps my favorite anthro series of all time. It had a LOT of worldbuilding potential, even more than Ninjago, but sadly the writers ended up ruining its lore and the timing when it came out wasn't good back then. It should've become a more mature, standalone series honestly, separated from Lego. >>13066 >I see birbs inhabiting throughout the height of a ravine; they might be simply carved holes So... similar to the 3rd pic here >>12471 ? I think it's a nice option, but I wonder what would happen if the avians cannot fly for some reason, like a wing injury. Walk through a lot of floors if there aren't elevators? Maybe there should be a limit on how tall their buildings can be.

>>14506 yeah, like the thrid one >I think it's a nice option, but I wonder what would happen if the avians cannot fly for some reason, like a wing injury. yeah, that can be a problem, that's why there can be vines and perches here and these eather for the those who fly to rest or for those who for whatever reason cannot fly to move from one place to another preferibly, the settlement could be amid a chasm, walled by two ravines, and bridges, primitive ones made of vine or woods, or modern ones made of granite or the like, connect one side with the other at leats, it would be an appropriated village for parrots

>>14662 thin, edge-fenced bridges could double as perches, and help with accessibility while still being quite cheap if they're anchored into the structure of their bigger buildings correctly The only problem I see is with particularly strong winds that may yet still blow birds away, or screw the fences if their gaps aren't placed right.

anywhere where they'd be able to make a nest safely so probably holes in big trees or cliffsides anyway have foxcrane with tits
