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? (:

Discovery
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
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.
