Details

Its cloudy plumage provides great camouflage.

Its relatively short wingspan gives it high acceleration, letting it get moving quickly when it needs to escape predators.

Wild cloubirbs are friendly and unafraid of people. They’ve often been witnessed on people’s heads, dusting off their shoulders and neatening their hair.

They live with their flocks in forested and mountainous areas. While they like people well enough, they don’t typically live amongst them like bowtybirbs do. As such, this species is only recommended for experienced magicians.

Some people think it’s just a wind fairy. They’re often surprised that it eats meat. Its hooked beak makes its diet obvious to ornithologists. Dragons also quite like meat.

While young cloubirbs might be preyed upon, fully-grown cloubirbs face no danger from other fairies and creatures in their environment.
