Laeral Wrote:As for a name for the Iduvian 'mute swan', perhaps the 'Snowfall swan' for its color and lack of migration?

Regarding the herons, may I have one endemic species, the 'Riverlands Heron'? And may one of the crane species also be endemic and related to the Demoiselle Crane?

What is the name for the Iduvian sawbeak?
'Snowfall Swan' is a lovely name, but to me it seems more appropriate for one or another of the migratory species -- arriving with, and "like", the snows -- rather than for the year-round resident. It's your nation, though, so if you want to say that your people use this name for the resident species then of course that's your right.

'Riverlands Heron', okay. Shall we say that it's a relatively small bird (as herons go), which would help to "explain" why it isn't more widespread, belonging to the 'Green Heron' group?
Would you be okay with it having a very close relative -- which is either a "sister-species" or another sub-species of the same species -- in eastern Malabra? That's an area whose birds I haven't yet done much about, and this would seem suitable bearing in mind the geographical situation as well as my initial ideas about the matter...

A species of crane related to the [RL] Demoiselle Crane, sure. Endemic, that's a bit iffier: Looking at RL Cranes in general, as well as the Demoiselle Crane in particular, I think that it would have to migrate seasonally and thus spend part of the year outside your territory... Winters in your lands [more or less exclusively], summers in western Malabra?
