Old Caterinna has been focusing on their military and their new housing and structures being built, but the construction of the Tayr’s aviary has reached Lady Bouclaire’s ears, and soon after, the Tayr receives a gift from Vallereine, delivered by one of Bouclaire’s traveling diplomats. Inside of a silver cage, they bring the Tayr a strange avian: with brown and white feathers, and two oddly shaped, golden tail feathers. It doesn’t sing its own song, but instead it imitates the songs of other birds in the area, as well as various other sounds, including that of a wild cat, and a human child crying. A lyrebird, native to the old Caterinna area.
*Is that a Hunger Games reference...?*
*it is not. I believe the bird in Hunger games is the Mockingjay. I decided Bouclaire would send a Lyrebird because not only are they super awesome and thematic for Vallereine, but also because Bouclaire’s castle is called Lyrebird’s landing.*
*Oooh. I just saw that it could replicate other bird and human sounds like a mockingjay, and I was like Reference?!?!*
*haha, nope. Lyrebirds are awesome though, they are known for imitating babies crying, car alarms, and chainsaws.*
*Huh. Just looked them up. One of the many weird australian animals.*
*We got mockingbirds that do the same thing in my neck of the woods. I heard one mimic a car alarm recently. Thats what is supposed to have been the last straw for the unabomber.*
*Everyone has such cool birds. I dont. It's sad.*
*If you don’t mind me asking, whereabouts are you? I’m sure there are some cool birds there.*
*I live in the southish part of the northeastern USA, while still not being in the middle. That was a very convoluted way of saying New Jersey. Eh. Not that I've seen. Or heard. Or have any idea about. We do get some hawks and other predatory birds, but otherwise, pretty much nothin.*
*I’m fairly sure mockingbirds are in New Jersey. They are very common in America. And your state bird is the Goldfinch which is at least very pretty. And then you’ve got the Jersey Devil which may not be a bird but it at least flies.*
*... Wait the Jersey Devil flies?! ... Oh yeah. It does. Also, I do not know of any mockingbirds where I live.*

Hiya, there! I'm Gonzalo2, but you can just call me Gonz! (Don't ask about what happened to Gonzalo1.) I'm just an ADHD theater nerd who has too much time on my hands and too little sleep! I'm usually at Camp Half-Blood, which I moderate, and have seventeen characters on. Like I said, too much time on my hands, too little sleep.
*the state bird of California is adorable: the Valley Quail.*
Two things.
One: OH MY [GP] THAT IS SO ADORABLE IT IS THE DEFINITION OF BORB YES HOW MUCH DOES IT COST PLEASE I WOULD SELL MY SOUL IF I HADN'T AREADY.
Two: This has just devolved into Bird Enthusiasts Forum.

*The state bird of my birth state is the mockingbird, which hardly narrows down which state it was. The state bird of the state I grew up in is the cardinal, which also barely narrows it down.*
*Dude, I love birds, I’m all for making this just a bird enthusiasts thread. Sorry Arch, I’m taking this place over.*
*Uh oh Arch I think Kingdoms and Crowns may have to be renamed to Wing(dom)s and Down(s). (Yes, I know it's bad but like, what else rhymes with crown and kingdom that is something bird related?)*
