Soooo the brids are (all?) magical? Like I get the whole caladrius-search as like this big adventure around a "mystical legend". Makes sense since the late 1800 was a phase were mystical creatures had this appeal. But I didn't expected a fire spitting finch from the German Schwarzwald... I don't know what I got myself into... 🙃

"The strix owl was a vanishingly rare bird located... It would not be crying" - um... isn't "strix" like a genus of owls, where as a specific bird would be like a strix aluco or a strix nebulosa? Is the bird-nerdiness of this book not bird-nerdin'???
Same with the attacking "bloodthirsty" lapwing (vanellus vanellus) it's described as something from Jurassic Park, while being smaller than a common crow?!
I'm lost.

You do you :D
Also es passiert nichts mit diesem Fink, es wird einfach nebenher erwähnt, dass der Feuer speit und da hat es bei mir erst Klick gemacht, dass es mehr Fantasy Elemente gibt als ich vorher dachte. Ich dachte das einzige fantastische Elemente ist dieser christliche, heilende, mystische Vogel. Bisschen als würden die nen Phönix jagen aber sonst sind alle Vögel echte Vögel. Das dachte ich ist der "Fantasy" Level. :D
