They take on the darker hues of the plants and trees that they live amongst, as protection from humans and predatory animals. They gather at dusk to sit together in quiet places to share their meals and discuss events of the day. They have a great bond with the small animals and birds that they live near to, and much of their time is spent rescuing distressed creatures and caring for them.
Pixies have a particular talent - they make music using the wind.
They channel it through leaves and reeds of grass to get the different tones and intonations. Humans can sometimes hear the music if they listen carefully. Most humans are too busy and noisy to hear the beautiful wind music. Click on the image below to see some pixies and Woodland Fae supplied by Amy Brown.
