IvyArbor Aviary You nod and push open the aviary door carefully and look inside.  Flashes of brightly colored birds zoom by you and land on various plants.  One, a brightly colored pink female, cocks her head at you and cheeps.

The bird's plumage is pink and purple with small speckles of white on it's belly.  Small tufts of feathers or fur, you can't tell, lines the bird's leg.  It eyes you curiously, softly cheeping. "This is Raspberries Dawn's Passion, one of our females."  JadeEye holds out her arm and the female hops onto it and cocks her head again, her eyes still on you.  She cheeps again and fluffs her wings.

Two more birds glide over and land on a double perch, chirping noisily.  One is a beautiful green with a white belly and double tails.  The other is tanish with a white belly and green highlights on the top of her head. Jade smiles at the two. "This one," motions to the white and gree, "is Wild Wild's Mist.  She was given to me as a prize.  The other is Wooden Arrow's Moss, purchased from one of the other fine aviaries that has been set up.  They both eye you quietly for a moment, then fluff their feathers and settle down for a quick nap.

A bright flock of several others peer down from a large maple-like tree, then burst into a chorus of singing.  The females on the perch join in, creating quite an interesting combination of pitches and noise.

The first is a olive-yellow color with green-tipped blue wings and a crest with blue tinge.  He doesn't look at you and vainly begins to preen his tail feathers, chittering at the red male with a white/blue chest.  The red and white male ignores the yellow male and hops from a low branch to your shoulder.  The last, a rather odd little female, does circles around your head, chittering and singing. "This is Wild Wild's Carnival, first of his kind to be put in my keeping." She points to the olive-yellow male.  The red and white male cheeps, wanting some attention. "Alright, this is Wild Wild's Frost.  These are two of the resident males."  The female squawks and lands on a perch, flapping two sets of blue tipped wings. "Oh yes, this is Wooden Arrow's Double, she was given to me in exchange for Wild Wild's Unequaled, who now resides at a different aviary."  You grin and stroke the female's back, then catch a glimpse of another bird sitting back in the corner on a small branch next two a two-headed seagull like bird.  They look down at you and stretch their wings.

They don't come down but just watch.  JadeEye sighs. "Those two came from a different Aviary that closed down.  I was asked to care for them and so I took them in.  The two-headed bird is Wild Wild's Tidal Shoreline and the one with the elaborate markings is Tangerine Constellation's Eclipse.  Very special birds.  They came from my good friend Myrror.  There is one last bird...." At the mention of the last bird, a brightly colored female struts past, not giving you a second look.  Jade laughs. "That's Wild Wild's Flyby...almost as vain as Carnival."
