I think this applicant would enjoy being a Common Raven (Corvus corax). Like the applicant, they pick things up quickly and have a good memory (they can mimic sounds they have heard including human speech!). They learn to hide their food from each other, and that they should wait for other animals to tear open prey. They are also very adapatble with their food and climate. They don't flock, but rather form mated pairs. Since the applicant only likes having people they're close to around, this would work. Ravens are also black, which matches the applicant's hair. They fly, like the applicant wanted, and would be natural in an urban setting. They're also some of the smartest birds and have the largest brain of any bird species. They don't have many predators. And since the applicant says they like Corvids, I thought the Raven fit very well!
Mine wasn't specifically picked but Raven's and Crows are pretty close! This is what I said.
Applicant #527: I'm going to go ahead and vote you as the Northern Raven, here are the reasons why. 1. You mentioned that you wanted to fly, and wanted to be a bird that would be found in cities. You also said that you wanted a bird that isn't too far down the food chain, so that took a lot of birds that I had in my head off of the table. The Raven fits all of these criteria. 2. You also mentioned that you like Crows, and Raven's so I thought I would oblige you and give you what you wanted. Why turn into an animal if it isn't one you like right? 3. You said that you are Asian with black hair, and I thought that the Raven's black feather's fit perfectly.
During the whole app I was thinking a corvid would be perfect, and it turns out you like them, only a bonus!
Air- I like high places, I'd like to be able to fly, preferably as a bird! --> A bird sounds perfect.
I'd like to be something that doesn't look unnatural/exotic in an urban/human-populated setting --> Ravens fit well, though this one is rarer over here, Corvids in general are often seen around town.
learning ability, good memory, and pretty observant too. It'd be nice if the animal could be known for being smart as well! --> Corvids are the most intelligent birds out there. They're truly amazing in their ability to learn.
I am super late to respond but mine got picked so I feel like I gotta respond (Forgive me, I was at Universal exploring Hogwarts!)
I started thinking you'd make a good bird of prey when you said your best trait was your brains, but by the end I knew you'd be a perfect Golden Eagle. You want to be the top of the food chain? Golden Eagles take down birds, foxes, even goats and deer. Deer. Yeah, that's how tough they are. Don't want to stand out in Urban settings? The Golden Eagle is found all over the northern hemisphere, and isn't a bright, showy bird, so you could fit in most places. Your interest in the mythology and history of the Raven could also carry over to the Golden Eagle. It shows up in religions, heraldry, and is the most common national animal.
Would love to hear your reasoning, thanks <333
