@Elvy - of course you do :::waves hand in best Jedi manner ::: You WANT to join the flock.... xd
Luinil: *sighs deeply from under a shady tree where she is delicately cleaning her talons after a productive hunt. While the influx of so many males made her sisters quite happy, all Luinil could see was all the messy infighting and competive coveteousness they would create in her sisters. Although the new blue one... She raised an eyebrow speculatively*

Tilyr's body was shaking from rage and fatigue. "Landed? You brought me here you crazy raven halfbreed!"

Shiro: Now trying to sneak away to a safe distance from all the comotion, quietly pondering what really was going on.. Looking around trying to get a hold of this new situation he found himself stuck in, but not with much luck.
I wonder if I dare talk to one of them? he whispered to himself.
What do they rellay want with me?
*looked back at all the chattering with an even more puzzled look*

Aldora: -eyes all the males that are going to be their captives- Not too bad... Some are pleasing to the eyes... I could live with having a certain couple as a play toy~

Valtiel: -has long since realized any type of conversation or argument is fruitless, and has settled in to listen and observe as demurely as possible- They're just keeping us around for company, I think. -the response is to Shiro, in an attempt to soothe the clearly unsettled stallion-

Aylin: The oracle watched over the flock as they gathered in to their new home after the journey from the mountains. She laughed as some intimidated the males, and smiled at others as they helped one another settle in.

Valtiel: -although keeping his eyes downcast, he dipped his head in a respectful greeting towards the oracle to the flock- Morning, -he greeted her quietly, as was proper for someone captured-

Alylin: Looked over the male that had greeted her, at least he was civilized.... Better than some they had run into. "Male," she nodded her head slightly to him as she continued to watch her sisters with joy. "Which sister do you belong to?"

Valtiel: No sister has claimed me as her own, yet, mistress. I was brought here by a sister, but I have not seen her since my capture. -he offers a small shrug, the only visible show of his frustration at mostly the lack of intelligent company-

Aylin: She looks over to the male with a sorted smile, "One will claim you soon enough. Until then, you are the herd's." She turned her attention back to the flock but spoke to him still, "Where do you hail from, Stallion?"
While she did not hold stallions at the same level as her sisters, she had grown to realize that they were a vital part of their future. The herd needed the males to pass along their genes to the next generation.

Valtiel: He tosses his head and shakes his mane out, pawing at the ground with a hoof in idle motions. "I was born not far from here, but have traveled much since then. I can't really say I'm from any one spot particularly. My mother was a nomad, and my father was... absent. So. We moved a lot, my sisters and I." The stallion lowers his head to the ground and shakes, his mane tossing from side to side. He had been apprehensive about the Harpies upon first being captured.. but found himself growing curious about them.

Shiro: *Gives the stallion that answered his question a curious look, but keeps his mouth shut for now due to the presence of the oracle*

Zahraa': *presses a dangerous foot down into tilyr's side, her weight pinning him as she bent to speak softly to him, a thread of amusement intermingling in an otherwise dangerous tone.* Oh yes, insult our queen further. Then she might give you to me, and we'll have all kinds of fun. *The flex of her talon offered only a mild preview of what a harpy's claws could do.*

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister~ Name: Anya Soquili's name & cert: Anya.Reason for joining: Because well. I love harpies to death. Even more so now that I've been roleplaying as one, and now own one! I would love for Anya to have sisters like real harpies. Though till I can get internet full time, (Should be soon! Fingers crossed.) I can't roleplay full time. But I will try my best to get on as much as I can! IC reason for joining: Anya needs the love of a herd of her sisters. She would get into lots of trouble if she didn't have someone to slow her down, and show her that she can't act so wild. Not only that but she already has many of the herd's practices in her mind. So really this place seems perfect for her! Desired rank and reason: Nanny. Anya maybe sly and coy with most others, but deep down she LOVES children. And doesn't mind at all watching over them, even if they aren't her own. She'll teach them the art of dancing with pride, and maybe a few other tricks that will help them along the way. (Stealing, lying, cheating. Girls gotta learn how to get their way out of things!) AIM?: Yes, And you already know it. But it's Fleepoll. Do you acknowledge that you understand the Flock's practices?: Yes I do. And so does Anya, like I said before even before she founded the herd she had about 99.9% of their views in place. So it won't be that big of a change.

More information on their way of life! If you have questions, please post and ask! I don't bite... I do give love nibbles though. |D
Nests: A home in the trees
Back in their old home, Harpies make nests along the rock walls of the mountain using mud and whatever dried vegetation they could find. However, in the forest, vegetation is plentiful and so are trees - nests are made on top of the trees, between the understory and canopy, sometimes lower or higher depending on the height of the tree. It is usually at a height where the Harpy can quickly reach the ground in a single leap - this helps to prevent injuries as well as allow her to be ready for an emergency at all times.
One tree should only have one nest, but if there are no other suitable trees, each tree should have a maximum of two nests!
The nest is also usually decorated with trophies from both captured males (read on trophies) and fallen foes - feathers, hair and even the occasional skull are just some of the things they love to hang from or keep in their nest. During All Hallow's Eve, Harpies who have treats to hand out to children will hang a fruit from their nest.
PS. Nests are for Harpies. Any other species will probably have to make do with sleeping under the trees, or enlisting the help of some sisters to build a nest on the ground with mud and twigs.
Trophies: How many do you have?
(Suggested by GS after I mentioned clipping the males' wings - We had been PMing each other... You'll know the plot she has to offer soon-ish! ninja )
Upon bringing home a new male, females are expected to bring their capture to see the Queen, or if she's out, one of the higher ups - the Commanders or Oracles, although one of our Oracles is a long distance away! The higher-up will inspect the male for any injuries before she starts a ritual to congratulate the sister for her capture. This ritual involves clipping the wings of the stallion if he has feathered wings, or clipping a lock of hair from the stallion's mane or tail if he does not have feathered wings, or if he's bald and grounded, something he possesses will be taken from him. After that, the item from the male will be given to the female(s) who were involved in capturing the male. It then can be used as a decoration for the nests.
