Biology
Physiology
Staravia has a small M pattern on its chest, likely for its Japanese name of Mukubird. Its eyes are bent inward to give an intimidating look to make its prey wary.
Gender differences
The gray spot on a female's forehead is smaller.
Special abilities
Starvia have large wings that allow them to take flight for a long period of time. These wings can also allow Staravia to fly with much agility, which can come in handy when they are flying through forests.
Behavior
Staravia tend to live in large flocks with other Staravia or with other bird Pokémon, such as Starly and Swellow. If two rival Staravia meet, they may fight ferociously with each other. They spend a large amount of time each day preening their feathers, searching for food, or spending time with others of the colony. Staravia are bitter rivals with Pidgeotto, who compete for much of the same food and territory. Luckily, they are mostly exclusive to Sinnoh and Kanto, respectively.
Habitat
Staravia live in forests or plains.
