Skylace Avilume – Flutter Glide Feeding

From observations of fantasy creatures in the Chimeric Garden, a place that exists only in stories:

Instead, it lifts cleanly from branches, flutters forward in short arcs, then glides briefly before hovering near flowers to feed. Its feathered body and broad patterned wings allow quick direction changes without losing balance.
