Raprot (Hybrid)

A raprot is the result of a raptor -parot hyrbid.

Appearance
Raprots look like cat-sized velociraptors with bright feathers and beaks. Unlike raptors, raprots have no teeth or wing-claws.

Behavior
Raprots are very playful and inquisitive. They can use english words, but won't use them the way we use them. For instance, "Bloody Buttered Onions!" means, in most raprot dialects, "I am hungry!".

Raprots, like raptors, will believe the first thing they see is their mother. They are fiercely protective of their eggs and young, and travel in packs of up to 200, protecting eachother. They rarely are found in the wild, for a parrot egg can not easily be mistaken for a raptor egg or vise versa.

Life Cycle
Raprots' life cycles start when they are laid as eggs in a nest in the spring. They hatch two months after they are laid when they are born, they are the size of a hummingbird and are covered in soft, white down. Up to ten chicks can hatch from a single egg, strangely. They mature at four months, and are full grown at five. In the winter they mate and the life cycle begins anew.

Trivia
The sentence "Bloody Buttered Onions" is from the wheel of time series as a curse word.
