Name: SeaGrin
Plural: SeaGrin
Class: Aves
Size: Typically weighing between 4 kilograms (8 lb 13 oz) and 5 kilograms (11 lb 0 oz). Average about 23–25 centimeters (9–10 in) in height and 46 centimeters (18.1 in) in head/body length (males being larger than females), with tails averaging 30 centimeters (11.8 in) in length
Lifespan: 20 years
Heat rate: Once a year, Early Spring
Birth rate: Between 1 to 5 eggs per clutch. Both parents will sit upon them until hatching.
Top Speed: Flight is seen to be about 20 MPH, on land running reaches about 10 MPH
Color: Most often found colored to match their surroundings so as to let them hide from predators, but are seen with an array of other colors as well.
Diet: Observed eating fish and various other sea life. When not near a river, lake, or ocean, can be seen eating larger insects.
Domestication: Observed less in homes, though rarely found as they tend to be able to fly away from captors. Those in captivity are seen being used for their eggs, or as messengers.
Details: All along the coasts, rivers, and lakes, these birds can be found. There is no discernible climate that they do not like, with the protection of feathers and fur they are able to go where they like. When food is scarce, they will move toward populated areas, becoming scavengers to live. This often causes problems for towns and villages, the creatures being messy and rude at times. They are very social, loud squawks and chirps used to speak to their families and friends. The young make very subtle chirping sounds, letting their parents find them and their nests.
Mating dances are seen, typically within the air, displays of daring and sometimes races with tricks set by a female are common when seeking one to be together with. This can happen all through the year, and is repeated every mating season, showing what feats the male or female would go through for the other. Sometimes the addition of a 'fancy nest' decorated in shells, grasses, and sometimes small trinkets and scales left by bipeds and Kirin. Kirin scales seen in the nest, or even bits of hair, are usually a show of strength as they are usually seen as fierce creatures, or a great protector if a bond is made.
In bonding, usually the calm and patient temperaments are taken greatly over those whom are excitable. Other personalities are more excepted, and usually the more excitable showing the more spontaneous in personality of the male or female bonding with the Kirin. In Kilen, they look for those that are usually energetic, knowing they might fall loyal to the dear friend whom they bond with. They will go for other personalities, these are just the most common.
When making friends they will take time to create a friendship wreathe of their favorite grasses and materials, at times spending up to three, even four days for just one to be made. When it is presented, the one presenting bows their head, flicking tail, and even singing a slight song, hoping to be accepted.
