feathersor

Feathersor is a fictional avian species used in fantasy literature, role-playing games, and folklore. The name suggests a bird with ornate plumage and graceful flight.

Feathersors are small to medium perching birds, typically 15–20 cm long with a 25–35 cm wingspan. They are described as iridescent, with blues, greens, and golds; some individuals show seasonal color shifts. The bill is slender and slightly curved, suited to seeds and insects.

In fiction, feathersors inhabit forest edges, montane scrub, and cliffside habitats in temperate to subtropical fantasy realms. No real-world distribution exists.

They are omnivorous and often social, forming small flocks outside the breeding season. Their vocalizations are soft trills and chattering; courtship displays include aerial passes and plume displays.

Nests are cup- or hanging-type, placed in shrubs or rock crevices. Clutches range from two to four eggs; incubation lasts about 12–14 days. Fledging occurs roughly two weeks after hatching; parental care extends several weeks.

As a fictional taxon, Feathersor has no formal scientific classification. In world-building, authors place it among small passerines or in a constructed family within a broader avian grouping.

In folklore and games, feathersors symbolize beauty and agility. Feathers from the species are often depicted as talismans or trade goods, and individuals may serve as symbolic familiars.
