She closes her wings and slithers off her makeshift nest of dirt and stares at Three small soft skinned eggs, about each the size of a ping pong ball. She nudged each in turn, finding something wrong in the smallest egg, something she could not place. Then finding herself hungry she coiled up, as a snake may do before striking and lunged into the air, wings flared, airborne! This was quite tricky indeed and it took skill and a slight taste for risks. Seeming to scout the area she lands, draping herself daintly across the antler of an Elk carcess, not too old by the looks of it and still holding a well amount of meat. Slithering her way to it's chest captivity she, being like all Snake Birds, Scavengers, nimbled absent mindedly at a fw choice pieces, eventually satisfying herself. Though now she was too heavy to fly and would have to slither back to her nest like that of a normal snake. With a hiss, she launched herself from the carcess making her way silently toward her nest. When she reached her nest she was quite pleased to find it unscathed and nudged each one of the eggs with a bloodied snout, as if to make sure they were still in one piece. Then using her wings nudged dirt around the eggs, until they were hard to find. Only the smallest egg still concerned her, sensing instantly that something was wrong. But she could not help the Snakeling and with a chirped almost comparable to a sigh lay herself across her nest, quite pleased with herself for the time being.
