Phatburd

Phatburd is a Maxis made creature, present in the final game. It first appeared in the Creature Creator, where it was blue and had an insect claw mouth looking like a beak. Something similar was made with Beaky. It may be hard to say its name, its pronounced fat-bourdd.

The Phatburd roosts in the foliage of trees, hollow trees, caves, and dense shrubbery. Phatbirds engage in slow, ponderous, fluttering flight and generally feed near the ground at lower levels than other animals with more rapid flight. Phatbirds consume a wide variety of fruit and seeds. Mating in monogamous; the eggs are laid after a gestation of 4 months, and they hatch within a few weeks.
