It feeds on the insects of the forest and flies incredibly fast and with brilliant agility.:*Spitfire Bird - a descendant of an undisclosed sea bird which collects chemicals from flowers of the Beech Burner which it then spits at enemies:*Falconfly - a descendant of the wasp which feeds on birds:*Spitfire Beetle - a beetle or mantis that gathers in groups of four to take on the appearance of a Beech Burner flower. They then pounce when a spitfire bird gets close.:* False Spitfire Bird - an undisclosed sea bird that looks almost identical to the other spitfire bird but cannot fire chemicals:*fly (live-acted)At this point in the future, Antarctica has moved so far north it is now on the equator and has grown a jungle. It shows how the seabirds have evolved to deal with the new dangers of the jungle. Oxygen levels have also allowed insects to grow big again.
