Description
This is an Auguery from the Harry Potter universe. Me and have decided to make half the creatures each from the book "Fantastic beasts and where to find them" by J K Rowling.So one down, 37 to go haha!
"The Auguery is a native of Britain and Ireland, though sometimes found elsewhere in northern Europe. A thin and mournful-looking bird, somewhat like a small and underfed vulture in apperance, the Augurey is greenish black. It is intensely shy, nests in bramble and thorn, eats large insects and fairies, flies only in heavy rain and otherwise remains hidden in its tear-shaped nest.
The Auguery has a distinctive low and throbbing cry, which was once believed to foretell death. Wizards avoided Augurey nests for fear of hearing that heart-rendering sound, and more than one wizard is believed to have suffered a heart attack on passing a thicket and hearing and unseen Augurey wail. Paitient research eventually revealed, however, that the Augurey merely sings at the approach of rain. The Augurey has since enjoyed a vouge as a home weather forcaster, though many find its almost continual moaning during the winter months difficult to bear. Augurey feathers are useless as quills because they repell ink."
You gotta love her imagination

Well, I recognize some of the main characters of course from the little bits I've seen on TV here and there, but I would not have known this bird was from the stories. It's really fantastic

Well, sure. I don't think there's many people who know absolutely nothing about Harry Potter. But even if you've read the book or seen the movies you wouln't have heard of the Auguery becasue it's in another book by Rowling. So it's not so strange that you haven't heared about it.

Ooh, I love it! It's coat is perfectly greenish-black and the tear-shaped nest is just a plus. I'd better get a move on with mine.
