"All bird children are. And reptiles, and amphibians, and fish. Bugs and things, too." Torin is cheered by the birds there. If there are any parrots, he will try to coax them over into perching on his arm. He also makes a few friendly bird calls at them, which sounds a little strange given how deep his speaking voice is. "But mammals bear live young." He pauses. "Except for the platypus. They have eggs, too."
