Jedoa have a wide variety of beak shapes, from small and sharp to large and hooked. Their beaks are pliable near the corners to help them show a small range of emotions.  
Jedoa have a wide variety of beak shapes, from small and sharp to large and hooked. Their beaks are pliable near the corners to help them show a small range of emotions. They also emote with the feathers around the top and back of the head. These feathers tend to grow longer than those elsewhere on the body, and sometimes have a slightly different pigmentation. Jedoa pluck or trim these feathers into different styles for self expression. Jedoa tails typically face down and are of medium to long length.

Differences between the sexes are very minute. It can be difficult to tell them apart. They aren’t typically offended if someone makes a mistake! Male Jedoa have two long, flashy, brightly colored tail feathers called the “chaahk” or “quill”. The quill’s color is the same as the male’s pigmentation and is typically longer and thinner than the other tail feathers. These quill feathers will bleed more than other feathers if broken and such injury is regarded as semi-serious. The feather will grow back in time. Female Jedoa are typically taller than males.

<div class="addinfo">There is a very rare genetic anomaly that causes the male coloration to become the dominant pigment. This results in a Jedoa presenting as entirely one bright color. There have only ever been a few recorded cases of this.</div>

Jedoa are commonly curious, excitable, and love surprises. However, because of this curiosity, they can become easily bored and constantly search for mental stimulation.

Jedoa are remarkably close knit and treat their whole society as a flock. They are quick to help their fellow Jedoa and are known to babysit neighbor’s chicks, help around a shop, or have a neighborhood party without much thought. To a Jedoa, everyone is like family!

Most Jedoan social activities involve being outside socializing: Dancing, group preening, group crafts, or just lounging around. Puzzle games are also popular, both for solo play and with a friend.

Fruits, nuts, and seeds are only washed, cut and served. Meats are eaten raw unless they must be heated to a specific temperature to be safe to consume. Herbs and spices may be added to some dishes, but for the most part Jedoa didn’t really cook until they were introduced to it by Mantheans.

<h2>Fashion</h2>
<h2>Fashion</h2>


Due to the harsh heat of the desert, Jedoa tend to wear light fabrics like silks. Primarily covered in feathers, clothing serves more of a social purpose than a practical one; clothing represents one's personal identity and individuality. Jedoa favor patterns and color, and many weave small scrap gemstones into the fabric to make it sparkle. Because of their sensitive respiratory systems, garments are typically worn loosely around the chest area, or are simply not worn at all.

Jedoa are best known for their jewelry. The most fashionable article of jewelry is the "collar”. This large fabric or metal oval can be slipped around the neck and covers the entire shoulder area. A collar is typically made of gold, but can include other metals like copper, bronze, and silver and are usually encrusted with jewels. Collars are more than just a fashion statement, though! They’re also useful for covering one’s crop.


<h3>Invention of Glasses</h3>
<h3>Invention of Glasses</h3>
Thanks to the abundance of sand, Jedoa had the resources to make great strides in the field of vision correction. Older style glasses were goggle-like, while more modern glasses are implanted into the top of the beak.
