Yallara

(General 1-2 paragraph summary describing "What is a yallara?" should go here.)

Breeding
Two adult birds, one male and one female, can be brought together in the companion barn (under Admin supervision/control) to produce one egg. Females may be bred once each week, and the owners of the two yallara decide who gets the chick. The nature of the chick will be determined by the parents' genetics. There is a slim chance to get an advanced yallara color. This can be increased due to breeding. Breeding the same color yallara together could result in a RARE +1, capable of doing extra damage during battle or perhaps a new attribute. Example: Fire and Ice Parents -> Fire, Ice, Gray, Advanced

Yallara lay eggs not only during mating seasons, but also in times of great natural disasters. They live approximately 35 years and when they die leave behind an egg to further their species. Depending on their care, they will be the same magical alignment or a new one. The yallara in central city have all descended from the same breeding pair: Abigail and Alexi. Wild yallara are seldom found, but efforts are being made to repopulate Terra 7 with these special birds allowing for more genetic diversity.

Growth & Development
Yallara grow quickly (How quickly? Approx timeframe for either each stage or from hatched to adult.) from egg to chick, pullet, young bird, and finally adult. They are about 6 inches tall when hatched. Pullets are about 2 feet tall, young birds 5 feet, and adults 8-10 feet. After hatching from an egg, the more different/unique actions you perform around the egg, the better. Sparring, battling, eating food, being with your friends all affect how quickly the egg hatches into a chick and what color the chick will be.

If a yallara doesn't imprint a particular element on hatching, it will be gray, and can be influenced to be the color that their player companion desires. Just like when in egg form, what happens around them and the actions of their player companion will determine the color/magic they change to between birth and adult.

Your actions affect the bird throughout its entire life, spending time with it or leaving it alone. Tame rates increase the more you play with and feed them their favorite berries. Tame rates decrease when you ignore them or leave them in daycare if they are not adults.
