Further chatter

In the 7th century, the Gnomes also draw military attention to this strange bird that lives on small islands in the rocky sea. Its feathers are yellow and green and its beak is strangely crooked. The special thing about them is that when several of them are together and you whisper a word to one of them, all the other birds automatically repeat it to the person you are talking to.

The interesting thing is that this also works over longer distances. Up to half a mile apart, these birds chatter back everything said to them in a kind of telepathic connection. In the course of the 7th century, the chatterers were increasingly used on the battlefield because of their abilities. Apparently, however, the birds did not always have this gift; it is only in the 6th century that this previously known bird and its new behaviour are reported.
