When you hold this egg, you think you can hear a song.
Passeri gryphons are friendly and sociable, and their songs instill feelings of bonding in other species. A short trill of notes will soothe most animals, including humans, and magi have reported that a singing passeri can soothe even a predator who would otherwise make the passeri a meal. It is assumed that this magical ability evolved as a survival trail on a species that otherwise would be very susceptible to predation due to their bright colors and small size. Despite their song's effect on other species, passeri seem to have unique flocks, and their songs will differ depending on the region they grew up in. A passeri from the forests of Silva, with bright yellow and green feathers, has a song in a major key, with happy lilting notes that inspire feelings of joyful camaraderie. A passeri from the northern territories of Alasre Mountains, with blue feathers, has a song in a minor key and seems to encourage feelings of deeper bonding. Their songs seem to have no effect on passeri from different regions, however. Interestingly, a passeri raised from the egg in a different region will happily learn the song it is exposed to as a hatchling, regardless of where its egg originally came from. Many magi study different variations of passeri songs and the subtle effects they have.
