The lifespan of a sooty owl dragon is unknown.

Deforestation has slowed down in areas with Royal Flycatcher dragon populations because they would destroy equipment and chase down workers who got too close to their territories.

Motmot dragons present the most interesting shift from a bird that was mostly prey to larger animals into a dragon that hunts for larger creatures. It uses its tail to lure in its predators, but instead of fleeing last minute it attacks with its barbed, venom coated beak. It is uncertain whether motmot dragons have evolved to develop a venom that knocks out the catch or if it has learned to utilize venom from poison dart frogs that were previously a part of its diet. Motmot dragons would have dazzling tails if they weren't so brittle and easily damaged when used as lures.

They are very cautious in nature and are very rarely seen on the ground level. They are also somewhat vain and prefer a soft and tidy nests. Bali mynah dragons are known to steal and hoard soft fabrics and fibers for their nests.

What most people aren't aware of is their migration pattern. In spring and autumn these dragons form enormous flocks that travel together. They are some of the fastest and most skilled flyers among dragons and a migrating flock can whip up a whirlwind. These whirlwinds sometimes grow into actual tornadoes, which is why flocks of green swallow dragons are often referred to as "dragon tornadoes".

Being the smallest dragons of prey people started capturing and training pygmy falcon dragons to be their hunting partners, thinking they would be easy to handle. The dragons were quick to learn how to hunt with human partners but people didn't take into account the stubborn nature of these dragons. They were even quicker to learn that instead of taking the prey back to their human partners they could just eat take the prey away and eat it themselves. Eventually the dragons stopped coming back to their human partners altogether but they would use the same hunting grounds as humans and since they were much more efficient hunters than humans the latter would often be left without game.

Nearly every body of water in the northern hemisphere is guaranteed to have a loon dragon or two. These dragons are very territorial and will drive away any living beings they consider competition. People have abandoned thousands of summer homes and hiking centres due to aggressive loons. Despite this many people try to camp as close to a lake as possible to hear a loon dragon's haunting, sorrowful cry on a clear night.

Kea dragons are among the most notorious dragons, known for their destructive tendencies and fearlessness. They are known to occasionally drive people out of small islands and villages because the damages they cause are so massive. Larger dragons have been introduced to high risk areas to keep the kea dragons out but without success. If a kea dragon fancies your neighbourhood it's best to list your home.
