Rahonavis (SciiFii)

Rahonavis aero, also known as the flying goblin, is a species of bird-like non-avian theropod that originally lived from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian, about 70 mya) of what is now northwestern Madagascar as an extinct species, Rahonavis ostromi, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. Rahonavis aero is a small predator, at about 70 centimetres (2.3 feet) long, with the typical Velociraptor-like raised sickle claw on the second toe. Rahonavis aero feeds primarily on insects, spiders, and smaller vertebrates. Rahonavis aero is a very vocal animal that often communicates by chirping and making higher-pitched squawks than those of parrots, and is unique among the non-avian theropods for its natural ability to mimic sounds around its environment, akin to those of parrots, mynas, and lyrebirds, being able to mimic bird songs, mammalian chirps, bellows and roars of larger animals, man-made objects, and human speech. Rahonavis aero is capable of true powered flight, more capable of flying than Archaeopteryx due to its thicker, stronger clawed wings with larger feathers, although it is not as graceful in flying as modern-styled birds. Rahonavis aero is a rather social animal that has a similar social lifestyle to those of crows and ravens, often living in large flocks, although their flocks aren't as large, usually numbering at around 25-50 at a time. Unlike most other non-avian maniraptorians, Rahonavis aero has been deliberately introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Madagascar to help boost biodiversity, and Rahonavis aero is a protected species in that country. However, there are Rahonavis aero that have been accidentally introduced to throughout Florida, most likely due to accidental pet releases.
