Avianoca
Basic Information
Anatomy
The primary body plan of the CA species is a tube-like center with two landing struts supporting a large segmented tail, a large tooth filled head and depending on the subspecies a form of flight surfaces in the shape of a large arm-like appendage jutting from the center of the torso.
Growth Rate & Stages
Growth cycles follow three similar plans regardless of the time spent in each cycle.
Hatchling; a cruder and more often than a not rust-colored miniature of the parents. All hatchlings require an energon and solid food mixture of 2:1 ratio to continue growing and captured specimens die one solar cycle after this precise measurement being withheld.
Juvenile: When the CA species is ready they begin to an internal process of shifting and adjusting using the living metal from their food up to this point to begin spontaneously creating new living metal that reforms their internal working as they develop the flight motivators based on their species type. These motivators are still roughly lacking the adult stages sleek curves but the shapes are obviously there. Shortly after a parent unit feeds them at this stage they begin attempting to use their flight motivators a process that seems to slough off the rough bits over time this is for all species the longest stage of their life cycles.
Adult: Similar to juveniles the CA enters adulthood with various internal shifts using stored living metal and energon from their meals. This change seems to facilitate their creating a secondary stomach that from testing seems to power their motivators only and enables their ability to pair bond and create a hatchling themselves. Shortly after reaching this stage with nearly no sign of care from the parental units the CA leaves the nest to hunt and never returns to the area until it finds its own paired unit.

Dietary Needs and Habits
Their diet consists primarily of leaf clusters from the Energizer Machine and a before previously undiscovered form of Insecticons found in shallow pools of rust ponds that seem to be unconnected to the Rust Sea basin.
