This captivating, but common creature is a type of bird. It's about the size of a robin, has four smaller wings, two strong, clawed legs and a short, powerful tail.
They have a thin, delicate skin covered in short, thin feathers, which is usually either light purple, light brown, red or light orange or a combination of these colors.
They live in open areas and are extremely common. They're omnivores and their beaks and rough tongue are ideal for eating grasses.
They're nocturnal and rely on their extra sense and sense of smell to get around. They do have large, round eyes, but their sight is not that great.
They have huge, pointy beaks and virtually no visible ears. Their heads are small and thin in comparison to their bodies.
They make sounds ranging from relatively high pitched to very low pitched and have a large range of sounds they make to indicate discoveries, dangers and otherwise communicate with each other.
These creatures are very timid, but they can get quite territorial. They mate twice to three times a year and they mate with a select group of partners for life. Which, with their incredibily long lifespans, isn't too surprising.
