Feathers cover their bodies. Their plumage typically denotes membership in a tribe. Males are brightly colored, with feathers of red, orange, or yellow. Females have more subdued colors, usually brown, gray and white. Their heads complete the avian appearance, being something like a heron or an egret, with somewhat long, slim beaks. They also have long necks that help give them a good vantage point over other shorter races.
