About Mothman
Mothman is a bit... Odd.
We're not quite sure if he's mildly vision impaired, or has some kind of brain damage. He also took an incredibly long time to learn how to feed himself - he was an adult before he figured it out!
He's a very sweet, chill guy. He's happy enough to be cuddled, but he will startle when you touch him - he doesn't seem to notice you coming.
We know Mothman isn't blind because he flies around and navigates well, his aim is just a bit off and he's a bit clumsy. He was named for his childhood habit of staring at lights.
Mothman has recently married fellow rescue Gonzo. She's perfectly happy sharing space with humans, but isn't particularly interested in them (although that may change with time, she hasn't been in care for long).
Gonzo needs regular beak times to manage overgrowth - nothing intimidating, just a quick easy snip with nail clippers every few months.
She becomes an incredibly fluffy demon while sitting on her (fake) eggs. You will be slapped. It will not be very effective.
They come with a pair of fake eggs, for responsible family planning.
Medical notes
He's either mildly vision impaired or mildly brain damaged, but nothing that impacts his care needs.
