Blue Tail Shortwing

Breed name: Blue Tail Shortwing

Bird inspiration: Stellar's Jay

Class: Shortwing

Subclass: Standard

Overview
A docile shortwing, well-adapted for mountain life. Hardy and good-tempered, generally considered good for solo work. These big softies will often get attached to a single person, and may express suspicion or even aggression if any other person tries to touch or interact with their food in any way.

They are suited to higher elevations, and may easily carry heavy loads as far as the snow line without much trouble.

Coloration and Conformation
Both the wings and tail of this breed are entirely blue, and shed feathers are in high demand. As with other blue breeds, there has been a consistent effort on the part of ranchers to breed the coloration into other bloodlines, but so far there has been only limited success.

Heavy-set, strong, and mellow, blue tails are dependable and hard-working. Very trainable, they are some of the best farm beasts for mountainous terrain.
