the osbick bird
aha! i knew that the drawing of the caladrius looked familiar. the above image is taken from 2 pages of edward gorey’s the osbick bird (1972). because the osbick bird was clearly a fictional animal invented by gorey, it is not eligible for admission to the bestiary—though petitions in favor of its admission will not automatically be shredded without first giving them a cursory readthrough.
