Breeding the rediscovered peafles has been a huge success! More than 2,000 peafles are born each year, and soon hopefully they will gain back their population. Now that we know more about these birds and how they survive, some breeding facilities agreed to let a few trustworthy people take some of these birds home as their pets. Why don't you go ahead and adopt one as well? (:

Diet

When it comes to food, Peafles like to experiment which is proving to be quite expensive for owners. These birds try to pick a berry or a small insect and find another food to try combine it with. If it is not satisfied with the result, the peafle will keep experimenting until it is satisfied.

Habitat

Although these birds cannot swim, Peafles enjoy living near water as well as hot and humid weather. The majority of these birds live in swamps and marshes of the Omen Islands, which became tourist attractions. Some people that lived near lily ponds or lotus gardens have claimed that at a certain time of the year they would find peafles in their pond, resting and hiding in water lilies.

Discovery

The Oriental Peafles were known to have been around back in the 18th century. The first recorded appearance was in 1823, by an adventurer Roxalia Vineheart.

Classification



Old sketches of the bird Peafle found in Roxalia's journals.

A fully grown adult can grow up to 3-4 inches tall, weighing less than 5 pounds. Their tail length could be longer than 4 inches, and they also has a wingspan of 8 inches or less.

Although from afar they may resemble a lain, these birds are actually more closely related to mallarchies. They are duck-billed, but they do not have webbed feet for reasons still unexplained.
Peafles have bacteria in their bodies that gives them their exotic colors, but very little of this bacteria is passed on to the offspring when the bird lays eggs. Instead, most of this bacteria is passed on when the parent breaks down the food and feeds it to her offspring.

Rediscovery

For almost 200 years these birds have been thought to be extinct. When the birds were first discovered, they were hunted down to sell as pets or to use their colorful feathers for clothing and other accessories. Thousands of peafles that were distributed to different countries died before they have reached their destinations, due to the drastic changes in temperature.

The population of the birds decreased at an alarming rate, and at 1855, about 32 years after it was discovered, there is only a thousand left known in the wild and less than three hundred in captivity. By 1864, there are no more found in the wild other than a few sightings of carcasses and in 1869, the bird was declared to be extinct.

It wasn't only until 2010 when these birds were rediscovered in the swamps and marshes of Omen Islands. Still, the peafles are labeled as endangered and are being bred in captivity until they were sure that the bird's population is fully restored.
