Detailed Praecoavisdae species family reference file
Note: This is a species reference i consider in a beta stage so i will still be editing this project until i deem it fit for finalization.
Part 1-Race basics-
Culture and history: The praecoavisdae species family is a race of bird-like creatures that are known for their relentlessness, tactical minds, and versatility. The praecoavises aren't native to specific regions but are spread across the entire world of Whimsy due to their species' extreme adaptability, and can comfortably roost in all of the mostly frigid biomes available on Whimsy Earth. Their culture and artistic styles vary greatly depending on the region and the specific group of species, but their affinity with the art of aerial fighting and nature is their unifying consistency.
Birdrys like building their homes with plant matter and generally colorful and durable materials, and they tend to shape their buildings around trees or mountains. All of their settlements and clothing have an underlying british/knightly theme and style to them but have a more flowery and almost tribal style overall.
Embirds are very approachable creatures despite their semi-uncanny owl-like faces and are friendly to anyone who doesn't mean harm. Their adaptability, agility, and fighting skills make them very ideal allies in battle or workers in many fields; such as guarding or transporting.
Deities: Like all sapient beings from the Whimsy version of Earth, the praecoavises know Infinity and the various deities that are either associated or enemies with her are real. They have many temples across their settlements, and they often worship, get married, and host sacred ceremonies in them. All temple types answer to one high priest or priestess leading and managing the lower-rank overseers.
Part 2-Physical anatomy and dietary needs-
Head and eyes: Birdrys large eyes are surrounded by fluffy feathers with asymmetrical ear holes behind their eyes. Their eyes are quite sharp, and have semi-translucent third eyelids that protect the creatures eyes without completely compromising it's sight. They have long-ish parrot/eagle-like beaks, a crest made up of three upward-facing lines of feathers, a tough crown-like comb with rounded above their feather crest, and a semi-inflatable wattle under their beaks.
Neck and torso: Their necks are long-ish with fuzzy but very short feathers covering the front and sides, and a semi-short mane of feathers on the back. The sides and back of the body have long-ish and semi-messy feathers; while the front has very smooth and small ones. Their shoulders also have very long stiff-ish feathers with false eyes and colored tips, commonly looking similar to the individual's face.
Limbs, hands and feet: The praecoavises wings are large and made up of rounded feathers that are arranged in a narrow-ish but mostly round shape, with smooth-ish scales on the hands. The legs are pretty long and slim for the creature but are strong enough to lift fairly large prey, and are covered in scales tougher than the ones on their hands; from their knees to toes. The feet are semipalmate and are as strong as the legs they're attached to, with tough and sharp claws on their ends.
Tail and extra appendages: The tail feathers are rounded and long, and they also have a cluster of decorative feathers on top that are almost as long and are unique in shape and arrangement for all individuals.
Known mutations: Advantageous color and physical mutations are quite common for praecoavises, but types of mutation commonalities vary by region. Typical physical mutations include larger feet, smaller or larger wings, smaller tails, lighter body weight, longer, smaller, or bigger beaks, longer or shorter feathers, and smaller or larger eyes.
Diet: Birdrys are omnivores, mainly eating fruits and small animals, but can hunt larger prey, consume vegetation, eat fungi, and whatever else that's edible and feasible for them to eat.
Part 3-Natural abilities, sounds and locomotion-
Assorted abilities: Birdrys have a few abilities that let them live the way they do in the various regions they are found in the wild. They can fly and glide silently, are very agile, are quite strong, are fast-ish swimmers, can tolerate very hot and extremely cold biomes, are very durable, and can hold their breath for 2 hours.
Sounds and calls: Praecoavises are known to make various bird-like sounds, often copying the calls of other creatures to attract prey or repel predators. Their own calls typically resemble the ones of songbirds and various birds of prey like owls, eagles, and seabirds.
Locomotion: A birdry typically flies low to the tree line when hunting, foraging, and traveling short distances, and soars when traveling long ones. They can run and leap quickly on even the slipperiest surfaces, and swim almost as well as they can fly using their wings to swim and steer in the water.
Part 4-External and internal functions and coloring-
Pelt and skin colors: The birdrys' bodies are completely covered in feathers, except for the legs and hands which have smooth-ish scales. The natural colors of this species family's skin, feathers, scales, and keratin are black, dandelion yellow, bronze, caramels, gold, dark gold, white, dull yellows, creams, pale yellow, dull browns, oranges, scarlet, yellows, dark pinks, silver, marrons, greys, pale blue, dull-ish dark blues, dark cyans, red-ish pinks, dull maroons, light blues, reds, greens, light pinks, dull greens, blues, pale cyans, pale rose gold, and browns.
Body fluids, flesh and bone: Praecoavises have pink-ish red muscles and flesh, pale cream-colored fat/blubber, and silver-ish white bones. Their blood is light-ish red, tears, and saliva semi-transparent lavender-ish blue, sweat and urine pale yellows, and other body fluids are semi-transparent pale blues.
Part 5-Emotional behavior and mating-
Natural behavior and expressions: Embirds are very friendly and social birds that are rarely found alone, and often stay in groups of 25 to 100. They hunt many creatures big and small in groups of 10 but will forage for fruit and vegetation during these hunting rounds too. Birdrys can build durable nests and homes in various unconventional places, from trees and mountains to shores and even bodies of water. These creatures express their emotions in the way humans and birds do, such as smiling and chirping when happy, glaring and hissing when angry or frustrated, and crying and lowering feathers when sad.
Mating and reproduction: When birdrys are lonely, they emit a loud-ish and melodic call to attract other singles of their kind looking to find a mate. When two meet due to these calls, the birdrys will determine if they are compatible by asking each other about their interests, goals, and personalities. If the duo determined that they will be great together, they will pair up and start dating immediately after. Praecoavises will engage in the dating process for 10 to 12 months, spending as much time getting to know each other and bonding with each other during that time. After at least ten months, the pair will decide if they should permanently mate; offering gifts relevant to each other's interest if they agree to marry. The creatures will engage in a mating dance after going through with the marriage to solidify their bond, and will soon return to the home they decide to share to start copulating.
Male birdrys have retractable and long-ish penises with short grooves on the top and bottom, and the females have semi-rubbery and long-ish cloacae. Copulation usually lasts 7 minutes, but in order to fertilize an unlaid egg the couple must copulate once a day for three consecutive days in order to successfully fertilize it. Females can lay 1 to 7 eggs and the parents must keep the egg warm enough for 6 months before they'll be able to hatch. Couples that don't want children will either skip copulating back-to-back and abstain from the third or second day after their initial session, leave the eggs unwarmed and compost or sell the dead eggs, or destroy and dispose of the eggs.
Part 6-growth stages-
Babies and newborns: Praecoavise hatchlings are somewhat weak but able to move and eat from nearby food sources like house plants. They still need a lot of oversight and care from their parents in order to develop properly, such as warmth and protection from various predators.
Toddlers and kids: At 2 years old birdrys become toddlers, gaining enhanced mobility and intelligence. These chicks start activity mimicking and learning from their parents at this stage, with most families getting their young out of the nest more than before. Chicks still need a lot of care and protection, especially because their heightened curiosity alone can lead them into danger.
Teenagers: At 14 years chicks become juvenile teenagers, and typically have a more mature mind and stronger body. Teenagers are mostly more independent than children and like to work out issues they face on their own. They can also hunt small-ish creatures in a group, and build their own homes as well. Despite this, they need guidance and some oversight from their parents since they aren't fully developed and still need to refine their abilities.
Adults and elders: When Embirds become 20 years old, they are sexually mature and reach the normal full physical and mental capabilities of adults of their kind. Most will immediately set up or find their own homes to live in and are able to hunt and guard against larger creatures on their own. Individuals will typically gain an urge to find their soulmate and will start dating sometime soon after coming of age. Birdrys become elders at 75 years old and their average lifespan is at least 100 years.
