Sparrow (species)

"Chirp!"

- Ricebird, upon being recruited

Ricebirds (文鳥, Bunchō / Java Sparrow) are a type of bird that appear in both Magical Vacation and Magical Starsign. Some can speak, but others are cursed and can only chirp.

Appearance
In Magical Vacation, the color of a ricebird's feathers will appear differently based on what Realm they live in. Ricebirds in the Material and Light Realms have white feathers, while those in the Dark and Abyssal Realms have black and grey feathers.

Personality
Most ricebirds are cursed to chirp, but the one who runs Ricebird Springs in the Light Realm can speak. It comes off as somewhat rude.

Magical Vacation
Ricebirds are normally seen hopping around various locations in small groups. Some act as immovable obstacles, and can only be moved out of the way once Cider learns how to command them in Opopmat Cave by Mace.

A ricebird can also be recruited as a party member in the post-game. It waits at the final floor of Garam Masala (50), and will automatically join when spoken to. It shares the Wind element with Candy.

Moveset
Ricebird only has a moveset in Magical Vacation.
