They are not very special if you see them from the neck back. Then once you see the head, it has golden feathers that will sparkle in sunlight. The undersides of the feathers are highly reflective. They can create bright flashes with these feathers. Their eyes are a bright cyanish color, and have a gem found in Eko named after them, called Cuyatite. The rest of their body is a dark gray. They hate when their feathers prop up without them doing so, and will fold them down.
