#bird!

1. Size chart, adult males and females are about the same size, about three feet tall at the top of their head.

2. Adult male, they’ve got shaggy furlike feathers that drape down over their elbows. Males specifically have a long fanning tail feathers and inflatable air sacks in their neck. All of these are for display, which goes in detail in section 6. Cofelle’s have a standard build of Mirum’s birds(group name still pending), but with a stockier build and a thick beak. 

3. Baby. These guys come out the egg as lil white puffballs. They can run around and feed themselves from day one, but follow their mother while still small. Their down is off beige and speckled, but they have one long tail feather tipped in red. 

4. The food! Their environment is full of grasses and low growing plants. They prefer eating the grain and seeds of said grasses, but will also indulge in younger, soft grasses and moss. 

5. Adult female and her bouncing babies. They tend to follow behind in a straight line, just following the tail of the one in front of them. Thus they can get trapped in a spiral, which mom has to resolve.  

6. Male displaying for a female. Display involves jumping up and down vigorously and making deep calls to get the ladies attention. This guy is struggling.  

7. These guys live in the misty hills around Mirum’s main mountain range. It doesn’t flood here during the year and doesn’t suffer from harsh droughts. Leading to a grassy almost marsh for most of the year.
