Attribute Champions

Most Agile
85

Highly agile flyer capable of quick, precise movements whilst foraging in upper canopy. Their ability to glean insects from leaves and branches demonstrates remarkable manoeuvrability and spatial awareness.

Strongest
45

Though small in stature, these warblers possess sufficient strength to carry nearly double their body weight during migration preparation. However, relative to other birds, their strength is modest.

Most Adaptable
90

Exceptional adaptability evidenced by their remarkable migration patterns, ability to navigate varied habitats from boreal forests to tropical regions, and capacity to adjust their diet seasonally between insects and fruits.

Most Aggressive
45

Males display territorial behaviour during breeding season and actively defend their areas with vocal displays. However, they're not notably aggressive compared to other species, primarily using non-violent displays and vocalisations to establish territories.

Highest Endurance
95

Outstanding endurance capabilities, demonstrated by their extraordinary non-stop flights of up to 88 hours over the Atlantic Ocean during migration. Their ability to complete a 12,000-mile round trip migration ranks them amongst the most enduring of small songbirds.
