Introduction



Preface
Greetings to the highest admins
Greetings to the staff and storytellers
A Hi and Hello to all Mizahars

There is a dog and horse breed list in the lore while also I had encounter Ablation's cat breeds to be push. I see birds should really have this one either. I would be strictly following the format of those lore pages. In addition, I am trying my best to share my readings about birds. Please help me take this article to perfection! I would rather receive any criticism through pms...



What do you think of birds?
They are the winged animals that chirps and usually got feathers. Unlike mammals, they are toothless and doesn't deliver babies through labouring. Birds are two-legged but not here at Mizahar. The Djed storm had left the surfaces in a chaotic disturbing condition, the same happened to our bird folk. After Valterian, evolution of birds consist some of them multiplying their legs, changing behaviors and even creating new hybrids and crossbreeds. The Aves is one of the most living species of the Mizahar world, to the extent of passing other animals like dogs and cats. Bird sizes differs from 5cm (2in) of Bee Hummingbird, the tiniest, to the 2.75 m (9ft) Ostrich. However, this research or data was proven wrong as new batch of birds are discovered in the jungle wilds of Falyndar. Wild birds got a decreasing in numbers as hunters tend to hunt down them for purposes such as to sell as an exotic pet or for magic rituals.

History




Bird Migration



To some birds, migration success depends heavily on key stop points food availability. The wilderness is a big bowl but then filled with predators too. Can you imagine, how many of those birds exactly will be able to reach their destination? Normally, birds migrate out of the coldest region to the tropics before winter arrive. Common bird foods like insects, crops and fishes tend to either die, hide or migrate during winter. This is how season affects migration. Although, some birds don't migrate if find an adequate food source and is able to survive in the temperature of the domain. There are also other reasons to the whole scenario of migrating. Predatory territorials can be a big threat to a bird group competing to general food and space. Syliran field can be ideal to the grain eating and fruit eating birds but then they might ruin what should be harvested. Farmers put scarecrows to frighten birds. While opposite to this, insect catching birds can aid in controlling of pest. Not all bird species are considered eatable or officially edible. Only those desperate ones and normal cannibalistic types eat any. Some bird are highly recognizable and is very common such as the poultry ducks and turkeys.
