A screenshot of two comments from user somecunttookmyurl: First comment: would coolness of the existence of flamingos, in egypt, and probably a flamingo god (flamingos) make up for the inclusion of a 7363th bird hieroglyph; discuss Second comment: this question brought to you by rhys asking the other day if they had flamingos in egypt. to which the answer is sadly no.ALT

@somecunttookmyurl thanks Rhys for the question! I’m not sure the presence of a flamingo hieroglyph would entirely make up for there being so many goddamn bird hieroglyphs, but it would be cool and for that position solely I want it to exist.

Bird hieroglyphs for the uninitiated:

screenshot of a programme called JSesh, which allows Egyptologists to construct hieroglyphic sentences from a database of glyphs. This image is showing roughly 140 bird hieroglyphs. For reference as to how many there are, the scroll bar is a third of the way down.ALT
same programme as before, showing another 140 bird hieroglyphsALT
another 140 bird hieroglyphs. I'm so sorry I can't describe them all but I don't think either you or I want to be sat here for 1000 yearsALT

Those aren’t even all of them, and there’s a whole sub-section for ‘parts of birds’ too.
