Alternate Names: Kiri-Kiri Bird
Latin Names: Avis cryostatious

The Gee-Gee Bird looked like a cross between a cuckoo and a chickadee. It was hardly ever seen, since it flew so far up in the sky, but its noises could certainly be heard, echoing in a clear sky. See, they came around in winter, and their name comes from what they could be heard saying: "Jee-jeee-Jeesus it's cold!" Yes, they could apparently speak like people, and they used their voices to comment on the weather. They also sometimes said "Kiri-kiri-kiri-kirist it's cold!" -- hence its alternate name.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It never gets cold enough here that I'd ever get to spot one... Dang.

What exactly IS a Fearsome Critter?
