Birds

**Royavians** and **Mimicats** are Birds exclusively found in the Cherry Forest, they have a similar behaviour to the other small birds of the game but hold some big particularities.

Bird species that spawn in a location is usually defined by the Turf type surrounding them, however, only Finches, Catbirds and Puffins can spawn in the Cherry Forest all year except during summer, making the biome bird-free during this season.

## Hunting

Both Royavians and Mimicats can be captured with a Bird Trap and housed in Bird Cages like any other small birds. There is however a major difference in term of loots similar to Canaries who have a reduced feather loot chance. Cherry Forest birds have 0.1% chance to drop a Purple/Green Feather, making hunting them less efficient to obtain their feathers, luckily, they both have an alternative way to be obtained with higher chance to occur.

Royavians can be found in the Rose Thickets and the Riversides biome, they can also occasionally appear out of adult Cherry Trees (5% on first chop then 20%) in a flock of 2 to 3 individuals during favourable periods :

* Must be in the Cherry Forest
* Must be rainy
* Not during day
* Not in Summer

When bothered from their tree, they will escape and sometime leave a Purple Feather behind (5%), the feather will float in the wind direction and eventually land to be picked-up unless it drowns, this can be prevented by catching it when it comes in range with a Bug Net or taking in consideration the wind direction from the flying petals, none-less, it is possible the wind changes mid-way.

Purple Feathers have 90% chance to appear as Bloomy in the previous scenario, managing to capture it with a Bug Net while mid-air will award the player with the Royal Mantle Bloomprint.

Considering the rarity of the event, it is recommanded to always bring a Fishing Net and few speed equipments during foraging sessions until obtention of the Bloomprint.

Mimicats will spawn in any other location on the Cherry Forest and will land in flocks at the start of seasons.

They have the ability to mimic other passive animals (Redbirds, pigs, Snowbirds, Canaries, Puffins, Pelondrix...) and do they own "meow" sound, which make them quite confusing the first times.

Green Feathers can be obtained easily by luring Pigs into pouncing on a Mimicats, the bird won't manage to escape and leave a feather behind, it is recommanded to stay relatively far from the action to prevent the bird from getting scared away.

Pigs who managed to attack a Mimicat will be covered of grass, this new flashy appearance will make it harder, if not just impossible without help, for them to get close from a prey without being noticed and fail coming up hunts.

If a grass-covered Pig successfully attack a Bloomy Mimicat, the Pig itself will turn into a Werepig and will spit the Birdhouse Bloomprint next time it. It is recommanded to tame these Catcoons and wait with an Ice Staff or Sleep Dart for a Bloomy Mimicat to appear to increase the odds of success.
