This video shows some ways to write out the word "bird" in Dscript( dscript.org ). I tried as hard as possible to make the symbols resemble a bird, but it was quite difficult. I think the nest image idea was best near the end, i shall try to refine it more later.
The B may still have hope of becoming a beak, but so far i have not found a way to make the body out of ird... I'm rather fond of the nest design so i think ill keep working toward a symbol that looks like a nest in a tree (perhaps even with a bird in the nest)
one of the nice things about dscript, is that it itself is not a language, so there is presumably already a rich vocabulary.. when the desire to make a since symbolic version is overwhelming, then one can easily resort to synonyms.. "avian" for example may provide better results. Kind of like how poets choose word based on sound, here you choose words based on look :) and each word has tons of looks(though each words permutations will all of course bare a certain amount of similarities)
Dscript( dscript.org ) is a "constructed script". Constructed scripts are invented writing systems. "invented writing system" is most commonly intended to mean "invented in a single generation as opposed to evolving over many generations", natlangs(Natural Language) are what we call languages that have evolved for many generations, conlangs(Constructed language) are what we call the new ones.
Dscript was originally a "directional constructed script", this means it could be written both vertically and horizontally with a single pen stroke design. Over time it evolved into its current form, a "dimensional constructed script" which allows the "letter strings" of the directions script to be wrapped up, contorted, forked, and even have letters placed inside of other letters.
List of key Dscript materials
The Dscript introduction PDF ( dscript.org/dscript.pdf )
The first Dscript site, Dscript.ca, with manual, video lessons, tools, generator, etc..
The Dscript Facebook Artist Page
The Dscript DeviantArt Page (Lots ofcontent, large files)
Dscript for conlangers and other languages
Dscript alphabet re-indexing guide
Dscript alphabet re-indexing video tutorial
There is tons of info on both

and
