The Tribal Society
The Tribal Society
Birbbers may collect together to create tribes, tribes are considered to be collections of individuals and families living in small groups and communities, they have the ability to communicate efficiently within their group but may struggle to understand other tribes. Tribes are often lead differently depending on their original structure, they may be simply a group of families co-existing in the same permanent territory, nomads following their spiritual leaders, warmasters with their hordes, or an upcoming royal-based society.
It is assumed your first Birbbers are tribeless, or apart of the same family tribe and may show some simple cultural quirks.
Birbbers are complex and sentient creatures, they are able to count, calculate and estimate. All birbbers are able to make tools such as spears, stone knives, and simple skin clothing. They lack the ability to make complex items out of metal. In a sense, they are closer resembling the early stages of the humankind.
Birbbers are able to create a variety of noises from chitter to chirps, all have a different meaning and over time they may establish a language or pick it up from their tribe. They use simple terms and expressions. Birbbers use a lot of physical body language and gestures to get points across and some tribes might be completely non-verbal. Think about how an early language may speak. Some Tribes may use pictograms or specific symbols to communicate, but written word is very, very, very VERY rare.
Birbbers are omnivores and will eat anything they can hunt, scavenge or forage. They are hunter-gatherers and lack the knowledge of farming and domestication. They will travel long distances to get to a guaranteed next meal and recall when the next season for the berry bush may continue.

Ritual Names are unique names that are used to specify SINGULAR Birbbers. They are explorative, extremely long and often make little to no sense and are poetically charged. They are usually based on their appearance, history, personality, etc. They have no limit on what they reference.
You do not need to call them by these names as "Nicknames" are available.

Gender / Reproduction
Gender / Reproduction
Birbbers are biologically separated as either males and females. There is little physical differences between them other than the obvious. Sometimes a Birbber might be born having both male and female qualities (intersex) and are treated how they wish to be treated as. Socially, they have no gender roles or use gendered pronouns (though you may call them whatever pronouns you wish -- you are translating from their language!)
Females are able to perform parthenogenesis, which is when they create young without the need of a mate, these are ‘clones’ of their parents with some marking variations but they are genetically 100% the same. There is only one born at each time and are only used as a last ditch effort for their tribes. Most tribes will have different opinions on clones usually forebearers of bad times.
Birbbers are able to mate with another of the opposite gender and the resulting will look like a mixture of both parents and have a chance to have traits that their grandparents had. Birbbers have a littler ranging from 2-4 pups. Due to the possibility of mixed litters, heritage can be hard to track down. They raise their young with their tribes assistance who strongly believe all children within their tribes are their own children - besides they can't prove anything, DNA testing isn't available!
Single parents or couples may be established, but it varies from tribe to tribe. Around 2 years old Birbbers are considered adults, independent and start working with their family groups.
