What is a meade?
A meade is a flightless bird that is small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Its wingspan is generally 2-3 inches, and its elegant tail is often the same length as its measure from its head to the end of its back.
Originally, meades could fly, but have later grown long, flowing tails, and a much stockier body. This has caused them to be grounded, but a few in the wild are still capable of short flight (to jump from tree to tree).
Meades, like most humans, have only one mate for life.
There are three types of meades:Alis Meade
Derived from the latin word "trivialis", meaning "common" or "simple", these meades are very simple coloured. Alis meades can live for 2-3 years. They are very social animals, and will always travel with a companion group consisting of 2 or more other birds. The are quite shy, but will act very friendly and playful to whomever shows no harm. Their diet is commonly berries, soft fruits such as bananas, and worms.Runny Meade
Runny Meades are very stealthy birds, rendering them hard to find. To catch one is very rare, but the few that are being domesticated produce slightly more colourful chicks compared to the alis meades. They enjoy eating crickets, worms, and small mushrooms. Unlike alis meades, they are less social, but they are sometimes found with one other meade, often being their mate. These meades have the longest average lifespan of the other breeds, of 5 years.Wild Meade
The rarest of the meades is the wild meade. They live in thick forests, feasting on bugs and beetles of the sorts, as well as small fruits. In spring, they have bright and colourful feathers to attract a mate (if they don't already have one), but in the winter, they are white, with a few hints of grey. Like their fellow runny meade, they are not extremely social, but still live with their mate, or a companion. They can live between 3-4 years, but the oldest one is recorded to be 6 years old (in captivity).
