Prompt

An 18th-century scientific illustration of a fantastical bird created by blending the anatomical features of all known bird species, both flying and flightless. The bird is perched on a twisted natural branch beside a carefully crafted nest containing several speckled eggs of varying sizes and colors, reflecting its diverse genetic origins. The creature's plumage is intricate and multicolored, inspired by peacocks, parrots, ostriches, and penguins. Its beak blends features of eagles, toucans, and flamingos; the strong legs resemble those of ostriches, with talons like those of raptors, gripping the branch near the nest. The wings are large and multi-layered, with feathers of many shapes and textures. The illustration is rendered in the style of historical ornithological plates, with detailed ink lines and watercolor washes. It is titled Avis Universalis Geneticum in elegant calligraphy, and surrounded by fine Latin annotations identifying anatomical parts and egg characteristics. Background is plain parchment with aged texture. The plate bears the signature “Dr. Thaddeus Wexley, Naturae Studiosus, 1763.” Vintage naturalist style, highly detailed.

Dr. Thaddeus Wexley, Naturae Studiosus, 1763

Avis Universalis Geneticum est creatura singularis, ficta ex omnibus speciebus avium hodiernarum, tam volantibus quam non volantibus. Plumarum varietas et structura pennarum maximum diversitatis avianae ostendunt. Ova in nido posita colores et formas multiplicis originis testificantur. Hanc speciem, licet arte conceptam, in studiis de varietate naturae contemplari prodest.
