Fierce

Songbirds are seldom threats to kitties, but sometimes annoyances or allies. Dozens of different kinds live in most neighborhoods. Some are friendly, some are shy, and some are just plain grouchy.

Reactions

•Flee: The kitty must pass any Attribute check, or the bird flies away.
•Squawk: Alerts allies.
•Bombs Away: The songbird leaves a mucky white mess on the kitty's head.

Variants

Reuse this foe’s stats for other creatures:

As-Is: Fliers like chickadees, robins, pigeons, geese, seagulls, ducks, pet cockatoos and parrots, and even bats and flying squirrels. Rename Squawk for furry critters like chipmunks, mice, and rats, and pocket pets like hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs.
Alts: Anything smaller than a mouse uses bug stats.

Adventure ingredients

Local News: Birds sure do talk a lot, and they share gossip about everything they see. Sometimes this is just rude taunts, but other times it's a source of information for kitties.
Could You Open This?: Without hands, birds struggle to open just about everything, from containers to doors. More than any other animal in the wilderness, birds are always asking favors.
