Ribbeak

Ribbeaks were a species of carrion bird native to Gondwana and Kalbari. Like a lot of carrion birds, Ribbeaks are scavengers, and will eat any carcass they come upon.

Ribbeaks are scavengers, meaning they will not hunt but search for carcasses across the sky in flocks. Usually, Ribbeaks in general or in flight are called flocks, but when eating a carcass, they are called wakes. The flocks will usually consist of 8-17 members, but wakes consist of 23-34 members. Ribbeaks will usually eat the carcasses of large animals. Ribbeaks primarily live on carrion, and forget about other sources like water. In fact, Ribbeaks can survive without water for 3 years, and a flock will usually find a nearby waterhole when it is time to drink up and restart the three year water-free survival. Ribbeaks rely on meat as their main food source, and even parents will feed newly hatched babies small chunks of carrion as the first thing they eat. Ribbeaks can live up to 65 years old, and you can tell by how wrinkly and how skinny they are. Ribbeaks also have large, thick beaks to help pick up and swallow meat and hook-like talons to help rip chunks of flesh.
