Birds are one of the eight Smoogie families. They include calm, nervous, exotic, special, and crossbred companions. The Iny is an ancient, vivid bird of unknown exact origin with a soft “ee-nee” sound and relatively easy maintenance. The Quarter is a very nervous and highly aware bird from the Netherlands, where it is almost completely extinct; it is very clean and needs food daily. The Curly is an exotic bird from the forests of South America that requires daily maintenance and grows slowly.
The special bird is the Golden Iny. It was found deep in an African rainforest, far from any known Iny population. Beliefs among the African tribes where it was found associate this bird with becoming rich and famous. Its golden feathers reflect light in ways that appear to shift with the viewer’s mood, although the underlying structure is not fully explained.
The bird family also includes three crossbreeds:
- Quiny, a crossbreed of Iny and Quarter that combines the Iny’s steadiness with the Quarter’s restless awareness.
- Woopie, a crossbreed of Iny and Curly with deep pink plumage and a calm nature.
- Quilly, a crossbreed of Curly and Quarter. It is the slowest-growing bird and takes over 80 days to reach adulthood, combining the Curly’s quiet nature with the Quarter’s constant vigilance.
