P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Give dragons [FLIER]. If you want them to have wings, in their raws change this

ok, so i tried making some bird people. they came out alright... except i tried to replace mouth with beak and it appears as though they dont have either now. and despite having given them wings they can't fly. i might have missed the [flier] part. i'm gonna check.

You have them laying eggs, but they don't actually have eggs or a clutch size; that could be it.

Check out ducks or whatever bird is in there. Chickens. Peafowl.
