Forgot one.

When the Wings becomes the Hands XD
I seen a few.
And done this myself lol

As seen HERE

Ohmigosh, THAT!

That drives me nuts!

I didn't have room for everything but that's definitely one on my list.

Then there's what Pokemon Moon did with Rowlet's final evolution with his wings lol

i personally like the two extra limbs, i also like giving things boobs. its for fun

Ohmigosh, I'm the same way with hips. As seen above. But it makes sense with a raptor type, right? Their legs are so strung and serve so many purposes. She can totally have big fat drum sticks.

Hybrids are a fun solution. But I find drawing something that is entirely "bird" is more challenging. Mostly cus avian traits are harder to humanize and mammalian ones.

I like wings that where the feathers at the ends are fingers.

I've always favored my birdies to have avian like feet and hands along with no boobs for the ladies and no dangle you know whats for the gents...

But I do enjoy all the options that come with drawing birds which gives them so many great variations...

It's always super interesting to see how other people choose to draw them. Even if some styles make me cringe. It seams like you and I have a similar preference for birbs.

Its definitely a lot of fun to draw all of the different variations and see which one you like most. And the up side is that it's totally up to you as the artist and you can change your mind as much as you want!

I think it's hilarious when people draw birdsona's kissing other furs.
Their beaks would NOT work for that, it would be like *BONK* Oops!
Or when they draw birdsonas with teeth, that always looks weird as hell.

Well there are cartoon birds who can do all of that, so I guess that's where these kind of bird characters came from.

Holy cow, I didn't mean to send that second message to you. ^^:

RIght! Like maybe they could lick someone with their weird bird tongues, but that just seams weird. I think just a cute little nibble on the cheek would suffice. That's what my parakeet used to do.

I think ducks or gees have teeth actually. I forget which. And I don't know if any others do. But either way, it looks weird.

This pic is accurate! I love birdsonas. Wing arms are my personal fave. Maybe not the most practical but they are just too much fun!

I discovered this problem once then i did one better and or more abominable, monkey taur. Basicaly a monkeypede. Its not pretty but its fun

So you don't have a problem with wings that literally act like hands or is that part of the upper right corner pet-peeve?

Honestly, I didn't have room for everything. Feather hands actually make me irrationally angry. And there's also that thing where people draw birds giving BJs which I just can't stand. Like wouldn't that hurt!? Like a lot!?

If the beak is flexible enough to pronounce some words without sounding weird or interfering with the voice in some way, or that they have teeth and chew with them, then they're not that hard enough to more harmful than teeth. Toons have an easier time getting away from this, because you know, they're cartoons, being impossible is their game.

As for wing hands, I might as well not ask since it makes you angry apparently. Anyway, I think the ones with wings on their backs are more sufficient to your preference though I don't really see why having extra limbs is a problem. If anthro dragons can have no problems with this, why can't anthro birds?

This is why D&D kenkus are the best thing

They're flightless anyway, so you can just draw arms with feathers on 'em and say it's your D&D character

It's a big challenge for sure. I'm still evolving my methods for gracefully combining human and avian anatomy. Because of my occupation, I know avian anatomy too well and have trouble busting out of realism. I hate boobs on birds. A beak cannot suck on a nipple lol. Pigeons produce a milk like substance from their crop and regurgitate it. That works for me. Some people are fixated sexually on mammaries but birds have other sexy qualities so emphasize those. A big fluffy breast or crop is better IMO. There are a lot of creative answers to legs and wings, as well as genitalia. My favorite is full on feral bird with human consciousness, feral cloaca or sometimes a ratite-like phallus in cloaca. Sometimes I'll be anthro with hands, feathered arms (no flight) and with bird feet. In a book I'm writing, an avian species has stages of life with functional wings then changes to have functional hands. Long story lol. Hey can I use this pic for my panels on avian anatomy? With proper credit of course.

I love the wing arms personally. They're cute and I sorta just suspend my disbelief when it comes to getting dressed and using items and such. Some artists have done well making feathers seem like thick fingers or something with mine which also looks great! The wing arms when acknowledge of how cumbersome they can be can also make for some fun jokes and roleplay scenarios in the tabletop games I play.

The webcomic Poppy OPossum actually navigates the wingarm problem of picking things up well too. In that webcomic, birds have small patches on the "elbow" part of their wings (which I wish I remembered the proper term for) that allow for magical hands projected and used. It's the first comic I've seen that tackles the problem in such a good way while using that form of bird body structure.

Ah, the ever present struggle! I can appreciate the variety of ways artists depict avian characters, but I rationalize my own avian character design decisions in two ways; "f-it, this isn't real life, it doesn't need to make sense." and when I still want it to at least make some sense: "it's a bird-like race, not an anthropomorphic version of a real-life bird, and as such can have any characteristics I want without being incorrect for its species."

Coming up with a new species also lets you have an actual reason (beyond aesthetics) for having mammalian features like breasts, even if you're just trying to *cough* make excuses.

In the end though, the various approaches to drawing avian characters is something that makes them interesting to compare and appreciate, so I enjoy seeing what other people come up with even if it isn't my own preference!

I always prefer characters when they are more logical than not. You make an excellent example with this.
Somethings that irk me greatly are avian characters that cannot fly (cause no logic) and reptiles/birds with breasts because.. no logic there either.

What I did was the Extra limbs, but yeah, you do have a very good point

I like birbs, though I guess how I draw them depends on the style or fandom. I have a stork named Oliver in the Cuphead fandom and I draw his wings so that the tips of the feathers act as his fingers/thumbs. My Sonic OC Spades is a magpie and his arms are pretty much on par with other bird Mobians like Jet and the other Babylon Rogues. My own 'sona Mafic takes the same approach as Oliver on wings; I tried adapting my long hair to her by adding on a couple long plumage feathers but it'll take a while to perfect. Personally, I don't like bird boobs, but I do like to compensate by making the bird shapely and incorporating feminine characteristics. Though my biggest frustration with birds is why there aren't more of them lol.

Oh! If you've seen the Sonic movie that came out this year, look at Longclaw. Pretty standard wings for an owl but the designers also gave her some form of claws built into the outer joints of the wings to grab onto things (it's the best I can describe it, though looking at footage and stills would probably make it clearer). I think it's neat.
