Who is? I haven't uploaded him yet o.O
I think I'm just gonna preview his first stage, and maybe keep doing it like that from now on. ;D

And yeah it does. I'm afraid she'll be forgotten. :(

Thank you! :D
I must say I'm really impatient to release him but I'm gonna try and wait for two weeks.
I've also really got a bad urge to just post the spoilers but on the other hand, I'd like him to be a little mystery... I'm not sure what'd be best x3

I love spoilers XD At least I know what I'm buying !
But since I'm buying the chick anyway, it won't make a difference to me for this one. I'll just be more impatient to level him if I don't know, and since they take ages to level, the lvl 100 will be known in like a year !

I've got a silly question by the way : What's with the magpie frenzy ? XD Why are there so much magpies as wild knuffels ?

I mean...they're total asses as birds : they eat baby birds and steal shiny stuff. Why does everybody love them so much ? Sure, they are really pretty, but other birds are...so why ?

I'm afraid I myself am the whole reason behind this 'frenzy'.

Other birds eat small birds as well. It's nature. They only do so because they need animal products in their diet - every now and then - and when they can't feed their own young. Like I said, it's nature. Humans eat meat. What about these cutesy young lambs and veals? Or the adorable cows, chicken and pigs, even the beautiful deer? That's right, we eat them too. Do you hate lions because they eat antilopes? Man, you must hate the whole world then.
They do not steal shiny stuff. It attracts their attention because they are extremely curious, maybe they play around with it, but it's actually never been seen that they take something to their nests, nor has anything ever been found in their nests, simply because it's worthless to them. They can't eat it, they can't build nests with it, why would they steal it?

Luckily us humans aren't total asses who actually kill for fun or for food that we don't really need anymore and really do steal shiny stuff while also to us it is useless.

And even if it would be true, they are pretty, and Knuffel are supposed to be pretty, voilá.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love magpies as well : they're beatutiful, very intelligent and I kinda love every bird that exists !
I just think it s*cks to eat young animals (at least, let them grow before killing them <.<), and they do take shiny stuff because they find it intriguing. They don't use it afterwards, but they still take it (like I said, they aren't the nicest birds XD)
That's why I wondered why there are so many of these birds in particular, it wasn't meant to be an offense or something ;O

By the way, if you're looking for people that bought your knuffels, Eylis has 5 Corvidae picas, I don't know if you already knew it.

If it makes you feel any better, if they need to, they attack grown up birds too. And in their place they're one of the crow's favorite snacks, as are their young...

Actually, they just play around with it, but no proof of stealing has ever been found in their nests xD

Well there are so many because I keep requesting them. Does that answer your question? As far as I'm concerned, they are the nicest birds.

I did not know, thanks for notifying.
