Galava

The galava is a type of bird, commonly found in and around Theria. Their name is old therian, combining "gal' (wind) and "ava" (bird). They were given this name as a result of the incredible speeds they reach while flying, efficiently using the wind to their advantage. They are small, with a average lenght of 30cm and a weight of about 90g. Their colour varies between silver and blue, with their head and back being littered with small, white, hairlike feathers which they use to feel and control the wind around them. The 2 long tail feathers provide stability and mobility while flying, as they can be moved seperately. In contrast to the speed and dexterity of their flight, they are known to lack endurance and are not able to travel long distances without resting in between. Because of this, after leaving the nest and finding a place to settle, they tend to stay in that area for their whole life. When that living space is comprimised, another unique survival technique kicks in. A Galava always lays 2 eggs, and these siblings, one way or another, stay connected their whole lives. Once one sibling is distressed, and seeks safety, it will fly to the other sibling in the presumption that environment is a suitable place to live. No matter where they are, they will always find their sibling when they need to.
