Ala culta is a future species of avian dinosaur and is the only known to develop civilization.

DESCRIPTION

Ala culta is moderate among birds in terms of size. They have proportionally small beaks with a short, straight and triangular shape. They have 20 remiges on each wing, consisting of 10 primaries, 6 secondaries and 4 tertiaries. Unlike most perching birds, they have 10 rectrices on their tails. The species has a very diverse genetic pool, with a great variety of plumage types among billions of its specimens over the planet.

ECOLOGY

Ala culta is omnivorous, known to eat plants that include grains, nuts, leaves and many types of fruit, alongside animals that include fish, mammals, and other saurians. Specific diets vary depending on the population. They can eat up to 20% their body mass, which would aid in them surviving harsh environments and travelling through arid habitats such as deserts.

INTELLIGENCE

Ala culta is the only

LOCOMOTION

Ala culta is capable of moving in air, on land, and occasionally underwater. Their forelimbs provide support for their wings, which are short and round, the ideal shape for agility that helps them fly through areas full of obstacles like forests with ease. Powerful arms drive them through the air at speeds of up to 25 m/s, but that would still make them easy to be caught up by falcons when in the open air. Long legs that are up to 50% their body length and exceptionally thick leg bones having circumferences of up to 80 mm allow them to effortlessly walk on land and reach speeds of 10 m/s.

STATS

Ala culta is by far the largest member of Passeriformes ever known, averaging 2.5 kg in mass for an average adult. Many large specimens have reached weights of almost 4 kg in the long history of these birds, leading to a maximum mass estimation of 4 kg. The considerable size they carry make them safe from the most aerial predators.

TAXONOMY

Ala culta is the only representative of the family Alaidae, which is believed to be closely related to the genus Corvus, and inherited the high intelligence alongside the superior ability of tool-making from their common ancestor that lived in the present day.
