The eggs of the Parakeeta are yellow speckled with green and about the same size as an ostrich egg.
Reasons to interact Intelligent and loyal creatures with elephant like memories. common and easily motivated by food and pack instincts. Used to carrying their young they are capable of carrying and climbing with large loads.
