The Novaehollandiae are probably best known for their ability to mimic sounds they hear. Because of this many of them go on to be performers and entertainers using there fascinating voices to recount stories and make funny voices. Although I am a Novaehollandiae I have never really felt the call to dance in front of a crowd. All the eyes on me waiting for me to mess up so they can laugh has always felt overwhelming. No, I'd much rather a one-on-one conversation with someone then trying to appease a crowd. Perhaps I'm wasting my subspecies voice talent by doing so, but I still find ways in which I can use it from time to time and that's enough for me.

There are many world renown Aves chiefs in the world, each one with there own style and technique. However, none of them have the ability to taste the spicyness that originates from Capsaicin. To them food with this chemical taste more sweet without a hint of heat. Because of this a number of common, sweet Aves dishes are considered unbearably spicy to non Aves species. If an Aves is cooking your food and you can't handle spice it is always good to ask them what ingredients were used just in case.

More info on Aves relation to spice can be found in the Animalian Alamanc.

The Caerulea are an Aves with striking blue feathers and hot red hands, legs and beaks. These Aves are brave souls that make good allies and even better friends. Once a year a large group of them will walk up a path to the top of the Hokkien mountain with lanterns, singing and chanting as they do there best to keep there lights lit. I have not seen this event myself, but I have heard that there lights make it appear as if the mount is covered with stars. more info on this subspecies can be found in the Animalia Almanac

There is a group of penguins that have made a home on the black sandy beaches of the South. On the beach of Macquarie the Schlegeli subspecies will host a large cooking competition called 'the royals spoils' where many different, delicious meals can be found. It is highly suggested that one goes at least once in there life as it is both a energetic and delectable event. More information about the Royals Spoils can be found in the Animalia Alamanc.

"The Animalia Almanac, a document that the Guild of Legends is putting together filled with information about the species, locations, legends and groups that can be found all across our world. Our hope is by gathering this info we can all better understand the world and about each other ."

When an Aves is extremely stressed they can sometimes pull at there feathers as a way to relieve the stress. Doing this a few times isn't a problem as an Aves has many feathers on there bodies. However, if this becomes a habit then it will lead to what is known as 'plucking'. Plucking is when an Aves pulls their feathers out so frequently that they refuse to grow back and will leave large patches of featherless skin on there bodies. Some Aves will use masks or clothing to cover these patches as both a way to protect there skin and to hide it. Plucked skin is often considered by others to be gross or a sign of disease. But just remember, those with plucked feathers have been through or are going through something extremely hard and deserve your acceptance and love. More information about plucking can be found in the Animalia Almanac

The Cardinalis subspecies has very striking colors and just as striking attitudes. These Aves are strong willed and will give there all to a cause they believe in. Some see there wild anger as a weakness that there subspecies is cursed with, but I see it as a strength. There passion burns as hot as there red feathers and that is something that is a power that many weak spined Animalian could only dream of. Full information about this subspecies can be found in the Almanac.
