Bird (Grebe): Eared Grebe
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Eared Grebe is the most abundantspecies of Grebe in North America, and is quite remarkible in terms of physiology. After it breeds, it undergoes a complex and drastic reorganization of its body fat stores that are located throughout its body, along with changes in the mass of its muscle, heart and digestive organs in order to prepare for its Fall migration. All of this tends to increase the birds energy reserves, along with its body mass, but rendersit flightless. It may have the longest periods of flightlessness of any species of flying Bird, which is up to ten (10) months.
The Eared Grebe breeds in marshes, shallow lakes, and ponds that are located in the four (4) Wester Provinces of Canada. After breeding, many Birds seek highly Saline, slow-to-freeze waters, such as Mono Lake in the American State of California. This is where it's favorite food thrive, namely Brine Shrimp and Alkali Flies. It Winters in coastal bays of the Pacific Coast and is a vagrant on the Atlantic Coast of North America.
The Eared Grebe nests consists of a sodden nest of decayed bottom plants that is anchored in thinly spaced reeds or submerged vegitation in the shallow water of marshes, ponds and lakes. It lays between 1 to 8 Eggs during the months of May to July.

This Grebe's so-called "Horns" are, in fact, yellowishfeather patches that are located behind it's eyes, and it can raise it at will.
The Horned Grebes tend to breed in small, freashwater, even slightly brackish, ponds and marshes.This includes man-made ponds. It has a preferance to areas with open water and patches of sedges, cattails and other wetland vegitation that is located in any ecosystem.It tends to Winter on saltwater bodies of water, located close to shore, also Wintering on bodies of freashwater.

In contrast to some of the more elaborate displays that the othe Grebe species tend to have, its courtship ritual is more vocal than visual in nature, and a pair tend to duet-call during the mating season. The migration of the Peid-Billed Grebe, which is conducted at night, is delayed until the breeding area ices up and food becomes scarce.

Bird (Grebe): Western Grebe
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Western and Clark's Grebes are strictly North American species ofGrebes. They share much of their breeding habitat and elaborate mating rituals, and were, until 1985, classified as different coloured forms of a single species.

Female Western Grebes are smaller than the males, and tend to have smaller, thinner, slightly upturned Bills/Beaks. The Western Grebes dive more frequently then the Clark's Grebe, remaining submerged for 30 Seconds.
The Western Grebe is found in the Western portion of North America, breeding from Southern Canada to Mexico in freashwater lakes and marshes with open water and emergent vegitation. It rarely breeds in saltwater marshes and artificial habitats. It Winters along the Pacific coast, in bays and estuaries that are located in the Southwest of the US and Mexico.
The Western Grebe nests on a floating pile of available plants that is attached to thick growths of submerged vegitation, but is occasionally constructed on land. They lay between 2 and 3 Eggs between the months of May toJuly.

Unfortunately, due to a tendancy o scavenge around Fishing boats often results in this, along with other species of Albatross, getting hooked on long lines or entangled in drift nets and drowning. This is a major conservation concern for this particular species of Bird.
The Black-Footed Albatross breeds on sandy beaches, almost exclusively on remote, uninhabited Islands in Hawaii. During the nonbreeding season, the Black-Footed Albatross disperses across the whole of the Pacific Ocean.
It nests in shallow depressions that are located on the ground, but on the hiogher reaches of sandy beaches. They lay 1 Egg during the months of October to June.

Bird (Tubenose): Cory's Shearwater
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The close studies of a group of Cory's Shearwatets off the Atlantic coast have suggested the presence of two (2) Subspecies/forms. Themore common form, with the scientific name of C. D. Borealis, nests in the Eastern Atlantic and is chunkier with less white in the underwing. The other subspecies/form, with the scientific name of C. D. Diomedea, breeds in the Mediterranean, has a more slender build (including a thinner bill), and has a more extensive white underwing. The Cory's Shearwater has a distinctive relatively languid flight style that is different from the other Shearwaters that are regularly in North American waters.
The Cory's Shearwater breeds in both the Mediterrean and on islands of the Eastern Atlantic, which include the Azores, theSalvages, Madeira and the Canaries. When nonbreeding, the Cory's Shearwaters tend to disperse widely over the Atlantic Ocean, including off of the East Coast of Canada.
The Cory's Shearwaters tend to nest in burrows or in rocky crevices. They lay one (1) Egg during the months of May to September.

Bird (Tubenose): Fork-Tailed Storm-Petrel
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Fork-Tailed Storm-Petrel is one (1) of the most distinctive of all Storm-Petrel species that live in North American waters, with its ghostly silvery-gray plummage and forked tail. It is the most Northerly breed member of the Storm-Petrel family living in the North Pacific, with it's nesting range all the way North to the Aleutian Islands. It tends to incubate its Eggs at lower temperatures than what other Petrels tend to do, and it's chicks/young can be left alone between feedings for a longer period of time. This is apparently an adaptation to Northern conditions, the Fork-Tailed Storm-Petrel chicks can lower their body temperature, therby allowing them to conserve energy.
The Fork-Tailed Storm-Petrels tends to breed in colonies that are located on offshore, rocky islands, ranging from California North to Alaska, with most of them being on the Aleutian Islands, and South, to islands that are located off the coast of the Canadisn Province of British Columbia. This also includes the American states of Washington and Oregon. The post-breeding dispersal of the Fork-Tailed Storm-Petrels takes the Birds to both the Bering Sea and the offshore waters of the American State of California.
They nest in underground burrows on offshore Islands. Thay lay only one (1) Egg between the months of March to November.

Bird (Tubenose): Greater Shearwater
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Greater Shearwater is a common species in the North Atlantic waters, ranging from Northern Canada to Florida. It is similar insize to Cory's Shearwater, and both Bird species tend to scavenge together for scraps around Fishing Boats. However, as the case may be, their plummages and flight styles are quite different. While Cory's Shearwater has slow, laboured wing beats, and glides on broad, bowed, swept-back wings, the Greater Shearwaters tend to keep low, while flapping hurriedly between glides on straight, narrow wings. The brown smudges that are located onthebody, which are not always visible, and paler underwings of the Greater Shearwater also help to distinguish it from Cory's Shearwater.
The Greater Shearwater nests on just a select fe islands that are located in the middle of the South Atlantic. The total population of this Bird species is WELL over 200,000,000 members. Postbreeding Birds make a very long 8-shaped migration pattern around the Atlantic, spending late June to September in the North Atlantic waters, usually being located offshore.
The Greater Shearwater digs deep burrows in peaty or boggy soil in order to nest. Once the nest is done, they only lay one (1) Egg between the months of September to March.

Bird (Tubenose): Leach's Storm-Petrel
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Leach's Storm-Petrel is a ocean based species of Storm-Petrel Bird that is widespread throughout both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, unlike most other species of Storm-Petrels. It breeds in colonies that are located on islands, which are just off of the coasts, . They only come to land at night and feeding offshore during the day, often many miles from the colony. This wide-ranging Storm-Petrel species has both geographical and individual variations;this means that some most populations have a white rump, but others have a dark rump that just so happens to be the same colouration as the rest of the body. Leach's Storm-Petrel can be distinguished from the similar Band-rumped Storm-Petrel by its notched tail and swooping flight.
The Leach's Storm Petrel breeds on islands in the Pacific Ocean with a range consisting of from Alask and the Aleutian Islands South to California. They also breed on islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Newfoundland to Maine. But after breeding, the Leach's Storm-Petrel wanders widely on both of the Oceans, keeping well out of sight of land.
They nest in underground Burrows on any islands that are free of predators, such as Rats or Snakes. They lay only one (1) Egg during the months of May to November.

Bird (Tubenose): Manx Shearwater
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: Most species of hearwaters are known very little about because of their Oceanic and Nocturnal lifestyle, but the Manx Shearwater is the exception to that rule. It is a common species in the British Isles, where Ornithologists, those who study Birds, have been studying them for decades. Long-term banding programs have revealed one (1) Bird that flew over 3,000 Miles (4,800 Km.) from Massachusetts to its nesting borrow that's located in Wales in just 12 1/2 days, andanother that was captured 56 years after it was first banded, effectively making its accumulated migration-only mileage around 600,000 Miles (1,000,000 Km).
The Manx Shearwater breeds on many islands in the Eastern North Atlantic; while being restricted to islands off Newfoundland in North America. The Manx Shearwater regularly occurs off the East Coast of North America, from Newfoundland, to as far South as Florida. It's rarely found in the Gulf of Mexico and off of the West Coast. It's rarely seen from shore and is a cold water species of Shearwater.
It nests in burrows that are located in peaty soil or in rocky crevices. They lay only one (1) Egg during the months of April to October.
Size Level: 4.
Length: 13 1/2 Inces (34 Cm).
Wingspan: 33 Inches (83 Cm).
Weight: 14 to 20 Ounces (400 575 Grams).
Build: Medium.

Mutant Changes & Costs:

Bird (Tubenose): Pink-Footed Shearwater
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: In many ways, the Pink-Footed Shearwater is the West Coast equivalent of Cory's Shearwatert. The way it holds its wings (which are angled at the "wrist"), its size and flight style are all reminiscent of the Cory's Shearwater. Although, the Pink-Footed Shearwaters are fairly variable in plummage, they are always rather dull, with little colour variation. This plummage pattern is similar to that of the Black-Vented Shearwater, and as both species are found off the Pacific Coast in Autumn and Spring identificationis difficult. However, the Pink-Footed Shearwater can be distiguished by it's larger size and its distinctive pinkish Bill/Beak.
They tendto breed on a few islands that are located in the South Pacific, off of Chile's coast, including Juan Fernandez. They tend to spend their Winter (the North American Summer) off the coast of the Americas, often reaching as far North as British Columbia, in Canada, and the Souther portion of the American state of Alaska, often found closer to shore than other Shearwater species. On the Island of Juan Fernandez, the population is reduced by the predation of Rats.
They nest in burrows of Peat, laying only one (1) Egg during the months of October to March.

Huge flocks of Sooty Shearwater are often seen off the coast of California. It is fairly easy to identify those that are off the East coast of North America, as it is the only dark species of Shearwater found there.
The Sooty Shearwater tends to breed on islands in the Southern portions of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and nearby waters. Some colonies number into the thousands of pairs. The postbreeding movements take them North, into the Northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, on 8-shaped migrations.

Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Just to let you folks know, once I post these new things, I'm taking a small break from doing up stats. So, let's get started, shall we?

Bird Information:
Ibises & Herons:
These are large water and wetland Birds that have long legs and look similar, but tend to have different habits. They eat Fish and other Aquatic prey, as well as plants. Most tend to breed in colonies.

Ibises:
These types of Birds tend to live at the waterside or on dry land. They fly in long lines or in a "V"-type of formation. Ibises tend to feed mostly on Insects, Worms, small Mollusks and Crustaceans, probing for them in the water and wet mud.

Bitterns, Herons, and Egrets:
These Birds tend to generally live on the waterside. They fly with their legs trailing behind them, and their neck coiled back into their shoulders. These three (3) "groups" of Birds are pretty much in the same type of family group.

Dispite being found in the US in the mid-19th Century, the Glossy Ibis was not discovered nesting inFlorida until 1886.Confined to Floridauntil the mid-20thCentury, when it started to spread Northward, eventually inhabiting areas as far asSouthern Ontarioandacross into Nova Scotia.
The Glossy Ibis is common from New England South to Florida, but has spread North to the Eastern Prvinces of Canada. They tend to live in brackish and freashwater marshes, along with flooded or plowed fields; having a tendancy to feed with other Wading species in inland freashwater wetlands, as well as coastal lagoons and estuaries.

Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Green Heron is a species of small, solitary and secretive Bird that lives in dense thicketed wetlands, due to this it can be difficult to observe. This dark, crested Heronis most often seen flying away from a percieved threat, all the while, emitting a loud squawk. While the Green Heron of North and Central A,merica has now been recognized asa seperate species, it was earlier grouped with the Green-Backed Heron, which are found in the Tropics and Subtropics throughout the world.
The Green Heron is an inhabitant of swampy thickets, but live, occasionally, on dry land close to water, across much of North America. The areas that it doesn't inhabit are the Plains, the Rocky Mountains and the Western Deserts, which is due to the fact that these areas do not provide appropiate wetlands. The Green Heron tends to Winter in coastal wetlands.

Bird (Heron): Great Egret
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Great Egret is a species of Heron that is both large and white in colouration. It is found n almost every Continent, with the exception of Antarctica. When feeding, the Great Egret would, apparently, rather feed alone rather than in flocks, like many other Birds. It maintains space around itself, and will defend a territory of 10 Feet (3 Metres) in diameter from other species of Wading Bird, which includes members of its own species. This territory "moves" with the Bird, as it feeds. In years that have scarce food supplies, a Chick may kill its sibling, permitting the survival of at least one (1) Bird.
The Great Egret breeds in trees that are located over water or on islands, foraging in almostall types of Freashwater and Marine Wetlands. These range from Marshes and Ponds to Rivers. It is migratoryover much of its North American range, with more Southerly populations being resident to the areas. The distance that they migrate depend on the severity of the Winter.
Their nests consists of twigs located in trees that overhang either land or water. They lay between 2 to 4 Eggs between the months ofMarch to July.

Bird (Heron): Cattle Egret
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: Unlike many other species of Heron, the Cattle Egret is a grassland species that rarely wades in water, and is often seen with livestock, feeding on the insects that aredisturbed by their feet as they move around. It is thought that the species originated in the shortgrass Prairies of Africa and is now found worldwide. It was first seen in Florida in 1941, but expanded rapidly and has now in over 40 US States and into the Southern Prvinces of Canada.
Since the 1940's, it has expanded into many habitats across much of North America. But, it is primarily located in grasslands and Prairies, but also wetland areas. In Tropical regions, the Cattle Egrets flock around the Cattle feeding in shallow wetlands.
The nests of the Cattle Egret consists of branches or plants placed in trees located over ground or shrubs located over water. They lay between 2 and 5 Eggs during the months of March to October.

Howver, its distinctive Barking call can be heard at night, even in the center of large cities.
The Black-Crowned Night Heron is a widespread species, meaning that it can be found wherever there are waterbodies, such as lakes, ponds, streams. But, unfortunately, they are absent from higher elevations. There are colonies that are often found on islands or in marshes, and colony sites may be used for decades. In Winter, they are found where water remains open.

Bird Information:

Pelicans & Relatives:
Pelicans and their relatives to an order of large to huge Fish-eating Birds called the Pelecaniformes. As a group, they have four (4) toes that are connected by leathery webs, and have flesdhy, elastic pouches beneath their Bills/Beaks.

Pelicans:
The Pelican family include seven (7) large species, two (2) of which, the American White Pelican and the Brown Pelican, are North American species. All Pelicans are buoyant swimmers and excellent fliers, capable of great lift on their long, broad wings with wing feathers spread. Flocks can be seen soaring at great heights while on Migration and flying to their feeding grounds. They feed by sweeping with open Bills/Beaks for Fish, often cooperatively, or plunging from a great height to scoop up Fish and water in their large, flexible Bill/Beak Pouches.

Cormorants: With 36 species worldwide, the Cormorants are medium to large Waterbirds, some are Marine, while others are Freshwater. They have broad,long wings, ounded tails,short, strong legs and hooked-tipped Beaks/Bills which are often tilted upward when swimming. When in flight, the neck is extended, but is noticeably kinked. When hunting for Fich, Cormorants dive from the surface of the water, rolling smoothly under or with a noticeable forward leap. They then swim underwater with closed wings, using their webbed feet for propulsion. Most species are dark in colour, apart fromsome distinctive facial patterns on areas of bare skin which become more colourful in the Spring. Most Cormorants nest on cliff ledges, although some prefer trees, others are happy to use both cliffs and trees. There is one (1) species of flightless Cormorant that lives in the Galipagos island chain.

It is a strikingly colonial Bird species, with most of the World's population being concentrated in just a handful of large colonies in isolated wetland complexes that are located in Deserts and Prairies. The American White Pelican tends to form foraging flocks, which beat their wings in coordinated movements to drive Fish into shallow water, where they can be caught ore easily.
They breed on islands in freshwater lakes in South-Central Canada, along with mountainous areas of the Western US, and in Coastal NorthEast Mexico. The species is an early Spring migrant, often returning to breeding grounds in early March. They Winter in Coastal regions, ranging from California and Texas to Mexico and Central America.

However, like all the other Cormorant species, the Pelagic Cormorant is threatened by the disturbance of its nesting colonies, oil spills, entanglement in Fishing Nets and pollution.
It is found in rocky habitats on the outercoast, shallow bays, inlets, estuaries, harbours and lgoons. Its nesting colonies are found on steep cliffs that are located on forested and grassy islands, along with on rocky premontories along the shoreline. It is also found on built structures,such as wharf pilings, bridges and harbourbuoys.
Its nests consists of a saucer-shaped nest that is made out of grass, seaweed, sticks, featherand marine debris. All of this is cemented to the cliff face withGuano. It lays between 3 to 5 Eggs during themonths of Mayto October.

Bird (Cormorant): Great Cormorant
Original Animal Characterististics:
Description: The Great Cormorant, as its name suggests, is the lafrgest of the North American Cormorants, and is also THE most widely distributed species of Cormorant in the world. It sometimnes breeds in mixed colonies with the Double-Crested Cormorant. From a distance, the two (2) species can be confused for one another, especially when seen outside of breeding areas. However, the Great Cormorants can be distinguished by their stouter Bill/Beak, larger size, and their white throat when breeding. It is a coastal species in North America, but in Europe, it is more likely to be found inland. Like other species of Cormorants, it's plummage retains water, which effectively reduces buoyancy so tha it is able to dive more easily. The Great Cormorant can dive to depths of 115 Feet (35 Metres) in order to catch its prey.
The Great Cormiorant breeds on ledges of islands, alonbg rocky coasts, located in the NorthEast US and the Maritimes of Canada. It feeds in protected inshore waters. It Winters in shallow coastal waters that are similar to its breeding habitat, but are not restricted to rocky shorelines. Its Winter Habitat extends to the Carolinas in the US.
Its nests consists of a mound of seaweed, sticks and debris that are added to the previous years nests, which are built on cliff ledges and the flat tops of rocks that are above the high-water mark on islands. They lay between 3 to 5 Eggs during the months of April to August.

During its breeding season, it depends heavily on food from thenutrient-rich upwellings onthe California Current. The Bird is named after a German who was the director of the Zoological Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Brandt's Cormorant is also at risk from commercial fishing, pollution and recreational disturbance.
Breeding colonies are found on offshore or near-shore Islands, or are on mainland promontories, which are located on the Pacific Coast of North America. It is also, occasionally found in inshore Lagoons. It Winters in sheltered inlets and other protected waters or on open Ocean within 1 Mile (1.6 Km) of land.

Re: Rathorc's New Mutants

Well, it's been awhile since I posted anything. So here's a bit of info on the next group of Birds that I'm turning into Mutants for AtB2, which will be followed by stats for 6 mutants:

Bird Information:
Birds of Prey:
The defining features of Birds of Prey or Raptors, but not Vultures, tend to be strong feet with sharp Talons that they use for catching Prey, and a hooked Bill that it uses for tearing into the flesh of it's meal.
Vultures:
Of the seven (7) species of New World Vultures, only one (1) member tends to occur in Canada. This being the smaller Turkey Vulture, which has an acute sense of smell, which enables it to detect any carrion that are located/hidden out of sight beneath the canopy of the forest or woods. Now nesting in any abandoned farmhouses, this Vulture species has the ability to stay in the air for hours agt a time, utilizing any lift provided from updrafts, this is due to the fact that it allows it to minimize the amount of energy used in flapping it's wings.
Falcons:
Ranging in size from the dimunitive Merlin, with a Northern breeding Hbitat, to the large, powerful Gyrfalcon, which tends to nest in the Arctic. This group also includes the American Ketrel, the Prairie Falcon, and perhaps the best known Raptor species of all, the fast-diving Peregring Falcon. The prey of Falcons tend to range from Insects to large Mammals and other species of Birds.
Eagles and Hawks:
This group covers a wide range of Raptor species of varying sizes. These range from the Bald Eagle and majestic Golden Eagle, to smaller Birds that include the Northern Harrier, along with various species of Hawks and Kites.
These Birds use a wide range of hunting methods. Forest-dwelling Hawks, for example, rely on speed and stealth to pounce on small Birds among the trees in a sudden, short dash. The Osprey, by contrast, hovers over water until it sees it's prey below, mainly Fish, dives steeply, then pulling up at the last moment in order to pluck its pray clean out of the water with it's Talons.

It features long pointed Wings, a "Tooth-and-Notch" Bill structure, and dark brown eyes that are typical of Falcons. Although, the American Kestrel tend to have shorter toes than other species of Falcon. This fact may be due to Kestrels often diving into long grass to capture its prey, which consists of Insects and small Mammals, which in turn tend to be more difficult for Falcon species that have long, thin toes. Male and Female members of theAmerican Kestrel species tend to have differences in both Plummage and size.
The Ameriucan Kestrel tends to occur near the Northern tree line in bothAlaska and Canada South, East and West throughout most of North America. The species also occurs in Central and South America. It's habitat ranges from semi-open tree groves to grasslands, along with cultivated and fallow farmland and open desert.

Here's the forth:

Bird (Bird of Prey: Peregrine Falcon
Original Animal Characteristics:
Description: The Peregrine Falcon is a species that is distributed worldwide and are known to be long-distance travelers, then there's the fact that the name "Peregrine" means "wanderer". It is known to dive from great heights at speed of up to 200 Mph. (320 Kph.). This is done by using a technique known as "Stooping". Like all True Falcons, the Peregrine Falcon species tends to have a pointed "Tooth" on its upper Beak and a "Notch" on its lower one, which it instinctively uses to bite the neck of its captured Prey in order to kill it. From the 1950's to the 1980's, its breeding ability was reduced by the Insecticide known as DDT. This resulted in thin eggshells that could easily be crushed by the Parents. The Peregrins were then bred in captivity, and then later released into the wild. Their status is now secure.
The Peregrine Falcon tend to occur in a variety of habitats across the Northern portion of North America. This allowed it to range from open valleys to cities with tall buildings. The Peregrine prefers to inhabit cliffs along Sea Coasts, in addition to inland-based mountain ranges. But they also occur in open country, such as scrubland and Salt Marshes.
The Peregrine Falcon tends to nest in shallow scrapes on cliffs or buildings, with nesting sites being used year after year. The females lay anywhere from 2 to 5 Eggs during the months of March to June.

Here's the fifth:

Bird (Bird of Prey): Prarie Falcon
Original Animal Characteristics:
Description: The Prairie Falcon is a species of Falcon that are light-coloured and buoyant residents that live in the Arid portions of North America. They tend to blend in with their surrounding (namely cliff faces and dry grass), which allow them to be invisible to their prey. The Prairie Falcons have a tendancy to chase their prey close to the ground, but not often do they dive or "stoop" on prey from any great height.Species of animal, such as the Ground Squirrels are important prey items in some area. This means that Breeding tends to be linked to Squirrel emergence. They also feed on small Birds and other small species of Mammal. Both Males and Females are very similar in colouration, although Juveniles have a streaked rather than spotted breast. The underwing pattern with almost black feathers in the "wingpits" is distinctive, meaning that no other North American species of Falcon shows this mark.
The Prairie Falcon tends to live in the interior of North America, ranging from British Columbia East to Western portions of North Dakota and then South to Southern California, Mexico, Arizona and Northern Texas. Their habitats mainly consists of Plains, Prairies and Grasslands, which are dotted with Buttes and Cliffs. A a partial migrant, it moves East ofits breeding range in Winter.
It nests in slight, shallow scrapes, which are almost always located on high cliff ledges or bluffs. The Prairie Falcon lays between 3 to 6 Eggs, during the months of March to July.

The Turkey Vulture's unfortunate habit of defecating down its legs, which it shares with the Wood Stork, may serve to cool it down and kill bacteria with its Ammonia content.
It generally forages and migrates over mixed Farmland and Forest, with a preferance to nesting in Forested or partly Forested Hillsides. These areas tend to offer hidden ground that is protected from disturbance. It roosts in large trees, such as Cottonwoods, on rocky outcroppings, and on Power Line Transmission Towers. Some have a tendancy to Winter in Urban Areas and near Landfills.

Think of it as a suggestion. Let's say that you want a character with Looks: Full or Perfect to have a Beak or Talons, All you'd have to do is pick and choose. Although, you MIGHT want to as the person(s) running the game if he/she/they'd allow it. It's up to them to allow it.

Kind of surprised that the Raptors don't automatically get Advanced Vision or the Turkey Vulture Advanced Smell.

A thing that has always irked me about AtB2 birds is all of the different flight options available to a species that shouldn't be. I think the type of flight should be limited to the basic structure/physiology of the original bird. But that is a call PB made when designing the game.

Silent Flight - Only available to Owls for the special type of feather they have on the leading edge of their wings.
Soaring Flight - Only available to birds that actually utilize that method or have the wing structure for it. Condors, buzzards, eagles, sea birds, etc.
Raptor flight - Well that's easy enough it's right there in the name.
Acrobatic flight - Smaller birds that don't have the wing structure to allow them to soar.
Basic flight/Glide - everyone can have that.
