〝I'm not gonna eat mud!〞 ––––––––––––––––––––––––– Hiya there! The name's Spitz. I'm here to share some neat world-building I created for a bird called the Harris' Hawk! I'm currently writing some xenofiction concepts for fun, and while I love sharing them- please do not use them yourself! Specifically, we'll be covering what is called an 'Oly' (oh-lee) which is a group of 2-7 Harris' hawks, as they hunt and live in familial groups! This world was created by me, very vaguely referencing the Greek root words 'poly-' and '-ornith'. ––– Harris' hawks have more specific terminology for their rankings in the social order. In an oly, there is generally: 1 Archawk (arc-awk) – The dominant hawk, most commonly the breeding female, but on rare occasions the male be in charge. 1-3 Deutawks – The breeding males/females of the Archawk. Generally considered the second-in-command(s). 2-5 Hawklets – The Archawk's hatchlings from seasons prior. 1-4 eyas – The growing chicks of the Archawk. ––– Archawks are the main raisers of all the chicks- the nests are primarily built by them, and they are usually the largest in the oly. This is pretty simple stuff, but I thought I'd share the social order I came up with :D ––––––––––––––––––––––––– 〝Cuss yeah, you are!〞
