What sort of a thing is a Spacebird?
Spacebird is a blue-flavoured artificial bird-like autogenerative robot pet, with a wingspan of approximately 40 cm. His luminescent eyes are capable of discerning wavelengths from high ultraviolet to deeep infrared. He is equipped with both offensive and defensive weapons systems: the former — a targetted, variable electrical discharge — is deployed from his head crest, the latter — a persistent, cloaking fog — through his beak. Spacebird’s maximum flying velocity is 300 kph. His ray-shielded wings flap during flight, but this is large for aesthetic considerations as primary thrust is supplied through twin microramjets mounted on his back. His secondary propulsion system is his unicycle assembly.
