Having integumentary wings allowed the sausophrey to evolve slotted wings, something which membranes are far too heavy to accomplish. This allows it to soar with shorter wings than a membrane-winged creature could, a valuable boon given the fact that it must also walk on them, and it
The sausophrey primarily consumes small ground fauna such as [[shrews]], [[nodents]], [[lizatokages]], [[spelunkhoes]], and small [[saucebacks]], but it is also not impartial to snatching up sluggish [[phlyers]] which have not fully warmed up for flight and young or grounded [[skysnappers]]. It essentially sees any small fauna that
The sausophrey can be a major threat to the [[Shepherd Harnessback|shepherd harnessback]], as it sees its larvae as food and will snatch them right off the backs of their hosts. As the sausophrey soars high in the sky where wind interferes with echolocation, the shepherds
The sausophrey is less social than its ancestor. It still nests in groups, as it nests on the ground and depends on group protection to ensure its eggs are not stolen by predators. However, outside of breeding season, it is solitary and even territorial. Nesting occurs mostly in the cover of shrubs, and it will use its leg feathers to assist in incubating its hard-shelled eggs. Like many Terran ground birds, sausophrey chicks hatch covered in down feathers and can flee from predators on foot soon after
