“Birds of a feather” and all that aside, when you live in an interspecies flock, it just makes sense to keep on good terms with your shelled flock mates.
After all, you may look really different on the outside, but on the inside you share an ancient and noble lineage right down to your DNA.
Sure, you clearly got the “good” DNA (the bits with all the feathers in them) but, strangely, they don’t seem to hold that against you.

Their smooth shells and reliably slow pace make for excellent roosting as the mood strikes you.
And unlike your perpetually anxious (and, frankly, overly solicitous) large featherless assistant, they make for refreshingly chill company.
