Contuil Bird

Cahn-tweel

Your soul is as colorful as the contuil bird, and so, I saw it fit to present to you this gift...
— A lover

The contuil bird is native to the Cipou Canyon— specifically near Poltoul. The bird's feathers are highly valued for their use in creating orange, yellow, and blue dyes.

Habitat & Rest

Contuil birds are diurnal, and prefer to roost in the firs that dot the landscape around them.

These birds sound so beautiful. I wish they were real. Love that the feathers are used for dyes, too.

Thanks! Kinda fun to do them now, as their initial stub was created last summer camp!

Thanks! The dyes made from their feathers are just as lovely, too.
