Bunch Sparrow

The Bunch Sparrow (Passer fasciculum) is a common species of medium-sized bird found worldwide.
== Appearance ==
The Bunch Sparrow is much taller than a typical sparrow, measuring on average about 1 ft tall (30 cm). It has thick brown feathers coating its body. A female has more feathers on its belly in order to help with the hatching of its eggs. This gives the females a dominant and "chubbier" appearance. Some Bunch Sparrows are kept as pets however they tend to be quite aggressive even though they are herbivorous. 
== Diet ==
Bunch Sparrows primarily feed on seeds from wheat and pumpkins, lumofungi, and sweet berries. This variety in their diet is a large reason why the Bunch Sparrow is so successful. When flying over plains, the sparrow can scavenge for seeds. If they are flying during the night, the glow radiating from the lumofungi colonies can be spotted from far away. When they are flying over thick forests, they can spot the red tint of sweet berry bushes. These birds are known to have very strong stomachs as they are able to eat the toxic lumofungus. 
== Lifestyle ==
Bunch Sparrows live very defensively. They are protective towards their young children and eggs. Their large size makes them a very threatening animal to other competitors for food. The birds sometimes act with aggressive behavior however this is done to threaten and almost never does any damage. Bunch Sparrows build nests in trees or tall bushes out of sticks, branches and leaves. A Bunch Sparrow egg is on average 2 inches (5 cm) tall and 1 inch wide (2.5 cm). Baby Bunch Sparrows grow very fast and fly within two days of hatching. Bunch Sparrows stay clear of large fields or towns, unless food is carefully presented to them. Bunch Sparrows fly slowly due to their large bodies and also to preserve energy when migrating to Rathnir or Eldham. 
== Taming and domestication ==
Most Bunch Sparrows do not fear humans and other races. When tamed, some Bunch Sparrows may act aggressive towards people who aren't their owners. This behavior is seen as a sign of love as the Bunch Sparrow feels defensive towards their owner. Tamed Bunch Sparrows are known to be extremely intelligent and have extremely impressive eyesight, being able to spot a glint of a berry from around a kilometer away. Bunch Sparrows are some of the most affectionate birds on the planet, this is quite unexpected from a bird of this type. Certain Folklore depicts Ancient People feeding what looks to be the ancestor of the Bunch Sparrow and helping its young, sometimes fighting off foxes and other predators for the ancient bird. The imagery is often accompanied with text that suggests the birds are near extinction or are very rare. Some people believe that Bunch Sparrows are paying back what they owe to the people of today for what their Ancient Ancestors did thousands of years ago.
