Very expressive faces! You’ve portrayed a nice variety of poses here skilfully, and it certainly is a unique critter. Anything with BOTH wings and fluff is a win in my book.
What happens if I go ahead and pet it anyway? :o

Thank you so much! :D
If you were to pet it there are two outcomes: it either gets disgusted and quickly darts away into the undergrowth, or will start running after you with all the flapping and scratching that comes with any angry chicken beast. It's rare to see a tame skvader, but it's possible. They respond well to food scraps (especially lettuce) but are insulted if you don't provide a tribute.
