Description
Spoiler
Adult quetzumbidae are placid creatures, generally content to perch around their magi's neck like a lovely, living scarf, and simply watch as their magi proceeds about their day, though they are wise creatures and unafraid to prevent their magi from doing something stupid with a sharp peck to the ears. They are not merely wisdom-dispensing fashion pieces, though, as if anything threatens their magi, the quetzumbidae's sharp beak and power over wind serve as excellent deterrents. In the summer quetzumbidae abandon their perches to nest, using their dances to seek a mate. During this time their magi companion must fend for themself, though once the eggs hatch, magi companions are often pressed into service to help, usually by fetching the choicest fruits for the quetzumbitae family to share.

here in germany also much people call them flying rats, poor pidgeons. they all was pets and much people release them and now they all are "flying rats" for so much people in here. i very like pidgeons (Tauben in german) so much. i like to feed them and spend time on them. pidgeons are very interesting and great birds :D

My guess is that it's a variation of a Mariana fruit dove? Idk I could totally be wrong. No two Mariana fruit doves really look the same for some reason, but the vibrant colors kinda match that of the Superb Quetzumbidae, at least in my opinion.

I personally see a resemblance, but I'm not quite sure.

I appreciate that the artists of MagiStream have made a few creatures based off of pigeons. They're subtly beautiful birds, even though they're considered pest-birds, rats of the sky, etc.

Sidenote & very kinda off-topic:

check out this neat-o pigeon I accidentally found during my search of pigeon variations-

It's called a Nicobar Pigeon!
