ring-necked pheasant i saw today

Kingfisher in colored pencils! Colored pencils are so relaxing and fun, but I’m pretty new to them so any advice would be really helpful to how I can get a more clean and “professional” look:)

Four and Twenty Black Birds

If there are twenty four blackbirds in a pie, are the black birds blackbirds? Or are they ravens? Or starlings? Grackles? Crows? Coots? Cormorants?

Furthermore, would that be a flock, a mob, a murder, a cover, a constable, a conspiracy, a dissimulation, a murmuration, or an unkindness of black birds in the pie?

If it's a murder, I fear for the king. They ate the maid's nose, after all.
