So ever since they found out Microraptor was iridescent black, I've been wanting to do a magpie-patterned version. Because they are my favorite dinosaur, you see, and it was a flawless opportunity.

So.

Picroraptor.

The pose is based on a habit one of my cockatiels has. She'll invert herself on the side of the cage, then stretch out her wings and tail and flap frantically to get us to pay more attention to her.
