Rosybeak Phyler

The rosybeak phyler has split from its ancestor and shrunken in size. It primarily feeds on the fruit of the arid ferine, but will also feed on small invertebrates, especially during when the flora stop producing fruit for part of the year. They have developed small spikes around their breathing hole in order to protect it from predators, and a beak well adapted to picking off the fruit that it feasts on.

Rosybeak phylers are semi-social. They will feed together, but do not truly interact with one another save for when males defend their territories or attract mates, as well as when the young are raised. Males will have a harem of three to five females within their territory, helping them build a group nest where all the young are born, gathering food for the young, and defending it from predators. The young will eventually leave the nest after three to four weeks.
