Spiked Quickfeather Broadwing

Breed name: Spiked Quickfeather Broadwing

Bird inspiration: Coucal Pheasant

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Standard

Overview
Known for their thick feather manes and lightning quick maneuvers, both in the air and on the ground, quickfeathers are primarily used by pilots in racing rings or lightning fish hunting squads. While their fathers aren't actually spiked, their thin, dark mane feathers are tipped by thin, tawny markings, giving them the appearance of sharp quills.

Coloration and Conformation
Quickfeathers are notoriously hot-tempered, and may be picky about who they allow in the saddle. With their full manes and dark coloration, these broadwings are particularly desirable among racing and ringer circuits, and have been seen circulating among ranches as studs in the hope of passing on their maneuverability and beautiful markings.
