Spitfire Bird

Spitfire Bird - Collects chemicals from Beech Burners, which when mixed are highly corrosive. When threatened they spit the chemicals at the assailant through their nostrils, which proves a powerful deterrent. They use orange patches under their wings to flash a warning at potential predators.

Behavior
The spitfire bird has an excellent defence mechanism. Gathering chemicals from Beech Burner trees (also called Spitfire-Trees), the spitfire bird stores these in a special compartment in its throat.

When it finds itself under attack, it mixes the chemicals to produce a deadly acid which it sprays at its attacker. Blinded by the acid the attacker falls to the ground and the spitfire bird can make its escape.

Diet
They drink on nectar of Spitfire Flowers in the Antarctic Forest.

Babies
Spitfire bird lay eggs in their nests.

Predator
One Spitfire bird predator was the Spitfire Beetle, who take the form of the spitfire flower to catch the bird. The falconfly also hunts the birds, but must be careful in doing so.

Mating
two Male Spitfire Birds fight in-charge by spitting at each other, the one who wins will have the female to mate with. First they communicate, then fly around, then do a mating dance.
