Location

Volatile living in the Case, in low altitude, near Ambrosia.

Physiognomy

The tin-eared-bird is a small bird, particularly active, with a short beak, rather round. Its plumage is generally as beautiful and colorful as its chirps are unbearable.

The female is generally more discreet than the male at the level of the colors displayed than by its eloquence much less obvious. Juveniles are identifiable only by their down, the shades of feathers being similar to those of adults.

It feeds on insects, such as berries or small seeds.

Behaviour

They live in a band and are particularly noisy. They do not particularly flee the company of local bipeds, and even find it distracting to come and frolic in the ponds, or steal food under their nose.

Tin-eared-birds nest on the ground, digging holes on which they stack twigs. Their nest is recognizable by the particularly musky smell that emerges. The Aigreplume does not particularly defend its habitat, which it monitors very little. It compensates for losses by breeding, which sometimes earned it the title of charming-bird.

Anecdote

When a hunter falls on a nest, swallowing one of the eggs provides an invigorating break. A sick joke is to salute this good fortune by emphasizing the abandonment of the nest for frolicking.
