Attribute Champions

Most Agile
75

The Redthroat displays considerable agility, hopping and flitting quickly between branches whilst foraging. Its ability to navigate dense vegetation and perform the 'rodent-run' display suggests a high degree of manoeuvrability.

Strongest
20

As a small bird weighing only 8-12 grams, the Redthroat possesses limited physical strength. Its diet of small insects and occasional seeds doesn't require significant strength for foraging or prey capture.

Most Adaptable
85

The Redthroat demonstrates remarkable adaptability, thriving in arid and semi-arid environments. Its ability to survive without drinking water and adapt its diet to available food sources showcases impressive environmental plasticity.

Most Aggressive
30

Whilst Redthroats defend their territories during breeding season, they are generally described as shy and secretive. Their non-confrontational nature and tendency to remain hidden suggest a relatively low level of aggressiveness.

Highest Endurance
70

The Redthroat's ability to survive in harsh arid environments, coupled with its capacity to forage actively and perform elaborate songs, indicates good endurance. However, its small size may limit overall stamina compared to larger species.
