I'm already blue jay, suckers! I'm aiming for the "500 point" bird (you know, because I have nothing else to do). I wonder what it is?!? Oh, the anticipation!
The highest bird possible is a tripped-out-on-LSD Big Bird, and then at the stroke of midnight on the day that you reach that status Lars From Columbia comes to your house and kidnaps you and you're never heard from again.
I'll admit my internet skills aren't that great because I still can't find the bird info (I mean, I know that I'm a bluejay and will stay a bluejay until I reach 500 points, but I want to know what I'll become next)! I need step by step directions, apparently. If it makes a difference, I'm using Firefox.
I wish our OLD numbers had followed us over here. Seagull, here. Maybe? Now that I've responded a couple of times to things it may have changed...
I don't want a bunch of fluff responses to fish through to get some good thoughts on here from folks. I hope the bird thing doesn't encourage meaningless posts?
I think it's a cardinal at 100 pts, I'm guessing the bluejay is at 200?
And I think it only changes on the points you get for posting, not the other random points. or not. I wish someone would explain that and the friends thing. AND I am having a hard time posting a photo that I know is small enough. frustrating.
My homecoming olympics team in high school was called the Blue Footed Boobies and I have Tshirts to prove it. =) OH OH OH --> maybe we can put our birds on our Team Avett shirts! ha
well, I got to blue jay. now I'm kind of over it. If the next level is def. at 500, I really don't think I have enough to say and/or I will get banned from this board.
plus I'm scared of the phoenix level.
The birds are all drawn by Scott and Seth which is the only interesting thing about the whole experience. I hope the novelty wears off soon. Badges? Birds? Points? Please make it stop.
"So, here's a question for anyone behind the curtain...
Who drew these? They look like scans from hand-drawn pencil sketches."
I am not behind the curtain but this might help answer your question...When you click for more information on the birds you get this:
You may notice a fine feathered friend as part of your profile, do not be alarmed-- these birds are just a small reward to thank you for participating. As you grow and participate in the community you will be rewarded with points, and in-turn, new birds to show the world your Avett love. There will be a slew of original drawings by Scott and Seth of the different level birds provided in the very near future. In the meantime, enjoy the ones ours friends have cooked up.
Hopefully, when you reach the most points you can recieve you get a badass teradactel. That would be ideal. Or, the flying monkeys from wizard of oz would be awesome as well.
I'm with bobzimmerman in that I hope the novelty of all this nonsense wears off eventually. However, for now, I must admit that I'm totally stoked that my bird changed to a cardinal. Gonna have to post like crazy to get past the bluejay stage, though, because I hate those hateful little buggers! )
Has it has occurred to anyone else that this stings a little of an elaborate practical joke? Do you think the boys and all the TAB camp is sitting back laughing their asses off as we spend days and hours discussing and debating ducketts, doohickies, and badges and how to earn more of them? You have to kind of get a giggle out of the ridiculousness of it all.
yeah, i'm just a seagull. i wasn't prepared for the boards to get so fricking busy with the new site! i can't even keep up with everything. overwhelming, to say the least.

Congratulations?
I am aiming for blue footed booby!
As am I. Anyone want to spend the next hour just replying to each other to see which birds come next? No? Okay.
I'm already blue jay, suckers! I'm aiming for the "500 point" bird (you know, because I have nothing else to do). I wonder what it is?!? Oh, the anticipation!
It is a crow, the next one is at 1000
geez I have a lot of commenting to do..
I'm a blue jay -- yah!! I'm commenting alot!! Catch up people!
After crow its a mockingbird, untill 2000
Hey Jen, I wonder if there's a sparrow? I sure hope so! (insert me giggling and snorting here)
How do you know what's next.
hehe
And, yes, I'm hoping for a sparrow too.
I wonder what the highest bird is?
a phoenix , then all your points go away and you start all over
well that's anticlimatic
"It is a crow, the next one is at 1000"
Dang! Fink has a badge too! My competitive blood is pumping!

Take that, post-whores!
My High School mascot was the Eagle, so I'm going to say I'm that no matter what.
@OZARK: bahahahahah...now THAT'S climactic
I know what bird Mao should be.
"a phoenix , then all your points go away and you start all over"
How do you know this, fink? I need details!
Where is all the bird info. I'm lost on most of the new stuff.

(Not on earning 5 points though
under "my profile" in the top right corner
thanks.
It would make more sense that when you get the phoenix, your computer catches fire and then flys away as ashes.

And then regenerates from the ashes? NO? sorry, lame harry potter reference. I hope no negative points come of this post.

I want to be a hawk! Do they have a hawk?
I'm personally content with being a cardinal. Blue jays can be pretty nasty.
i'm a cardinal, i bet the final one is a peac***
The ultimate bird is actually a duck.
I think it's a cardinal at 100 pts, I'm guessing the bluejay is at 200?

I'm still a lonely little Seagull.

I didn't even notice I made such a great pun. Ducks... ducketts... get it?!?! c'mon!!!
"Anyone want to spend the next hour just replying to each other to see which birds come next?" -chilixx
Haha! I'm totally in! I'm kind of at work, but I'm also only kind of working, so this could happen.
Also, when you reach phoenix level, to be clear...you burst into flames and THEN you start over.
well, I got to blue jay. now I'm kind of over it. If the next level is def. at 500, I really don't think I have enough to say and/or I will get banned from this board.
plus I'm scared of the phoenix level.
I am a crow!
and I got a badge for making 10+comments (on pictures).
FYI...you get 25 points if you are the first to post a comment on a picture! 5 for anything after.
So, here's a question for anyone behind the curtain...
Who drew these? They look like scans from hand-drawn pencil sketches.
seagull wahoo!
now we all have a game to play on the avett boards lol
3000 points is duck-billed platypus
Seems like I was a bird when I first started this, changed into a cardinal and now back at the bird I had the first time, I'm confused!

TABs should consider this.

And yet, I'm still participating . . .

so is the Cardinal a male or female rendition?
UGH! It's making my head hurt!! Make it stop...
