This thread is on FYAH! lol...

Yikes, AG! I thought I was conflicted...
Is Neptune one of the slow-moving planets? Mine is in Sag, too. You got me beat overall, though.

T,
Now why would I be pouting? Regardless of your choice, the truth shall ever remain. I'ris is the most creative, most InSpIRed and visually ingenious of all the names so far!

fayte.m,

it's about time you get in on this thread! great suggestions, too! My favorites are the Ishtar/Ashtar/Aster series!

MM,

I saw those trees as a giant mouth trying to eat the birds as they escaped.

MM, i'd like to but i have to wait to get the "posting privileges" email back first.

Nosi, well, i thought maybe you'd be pouting because you really seemed to like I'ris and i seem to be leaning towards starling now.
Or because AG is more Mutable than you.

Awesome again, fayte! Youve inspired me now...

Melody,
Seriously cool video! I thought the same thing about the trees, that it looked like a giant version of a bird!

AG,

Well, everyone certainly does have an opinion, which is cool. I/We get to see things from a lot of angles at once.

Yes! When I'm in good spirits, that's exactly how I feel.

Filtering out through the Capricorn Sun I think the information synthesis is pretty good.

from Mel's second link:

"On a positive note, if you ever manage to find yourself near a huge flock of them, the sounds they give off are absolutely amazing.

You're right- the whooshing sound a full flock makes as they take flight in a panic is truly spectacular."

I'd imagine the sounds would be amazing! Hope to get the chance to hear/see them someday.

Bird Totems
(can't copy/past from this link)

Starling:

Group Behavior and Etiquette clear communication

Cycle of Power: Spring

Starling: They are very sociable, gather together in large flocks, travel and feed in flocks. They can reveal lessons associated with group behaviour, etiquette and they are known for mobbing other birds. Anything dealing with community or group behaviour
falls under the teachings of the starling…good or bad. If they have shown up in your life, ask yourself some important questions around your behaviour in group situations.

(***interesting...in that i spend way too much time alone)

Falcon:

accuracy, rapid progress, restraint

The Peregrine Falcon lives up to its Latin name: Falco Peregrinus which means foreigner or stranger because it is a migratory bird rather than sedentary - it is found throughout the world and tends to travel great distances.

The Peregrine is most often used in falconry due to its keen intellect and incredible ability to calculate or judge its prey.
