Devil Came Through Here

op why are you wearing gloves. are you just in the dark. doing this.

typically the baby plane's immune system would be built through nursing and again later with saliva transferal during feeding (this species / model feeds similar to penguins after a phase of exclusively nursing) but without a plane mother we must be very careful when first introducing the infant to a new environment. the same goes for light exposure, as the infant planes (of this species) would spend the first few weeks tucked under the mother plane's winglets, only emerging at night. this of course makes flying more difficult for her and is why mother planes are largely grounded for the fledgling period . occasionally survival calls for a takeoff anyway and this is why runt planes can sometimes tumble onto the runway where the mother must make the difficult decision to circle back or to leave them behind in the interest of the rest of the litter
