"Augerey," she repeated as she waddled over towards the pile of dead bugs while still in crouching position. Using her bare hands, she began to re-pile the bugs that had been scattered a bit when Salander had opened the door. She looked up at Salander and noticed the puzzled expression on his face. Why was his collar up? Kurumi cocked her head to the side. Perhaps he was cold and that was a way of keeping himself warmer? Kurumi tried not to think too much on it, there were bugs to be taken care of and baby augerey to woo.

"They are also known as the Irish Phoenix. They resemble a vulture, only with greenish black feathers and a sharp beak," she explained as she picked up an especially large beetle and rested it on top of the pile. She swore she heard some sort of a cracking noise coming from the rafters. When she looked up, however, it didn't seem like there was any change. "They eat insects, fairies and flies and are very shy creatures. They sort of have a bad reputation, like dragons. Poor misunderstood creatures really. It was long believed that the mournful cry of the Augurey foretold death, and wizards would go to great lengths to avoid Augurey nests. However, research determined that the Augurey merely sings when it is about to rain."
