A native mink-mink harpy's diet consists of fruits, plant nectars, nuts, seeds, insects, and insect byproducts, such as honey. A mink-mink harpy in more civilized areas might actively seek out normal human food, such as meats, and prepared meals like sushi, but it is recommended

by the elders of mink-mink harpy clans that they should eat some of their native diet on occasion, for a healthy balance of sugars and nutrients.

In the past, mink-mink harpies themselves were poached, as they used to be killed for their feathers, meat, and eggs.
 
==== Social life and family ====


They are highly sociable creatures, and tend to flock together with others that share their animal-kind, be it avian, feline or primate. They also get along well with reptiles, including dragons, as they are similar to avians, both having claws, and the ability to lay eggs, for example.

It is extremely rare for mink-mink harpies to ever be alone as they make friends easily, due to their curious nature, and they don't have any natural predators or enemies as they are poisonous and can defend themselves with their sharp spikes and claws. They live peacefully and solve disputes by bringing their issues up with the elders of the eldest flock.

Native mink-mink harpy language consists of short chirps, chitters, purrs, coos, and loud screeches of varying lengths, all combined with body language and eye contact. They are also known for their mimicry, as they can easily and accurately repeat sounds from other creatures and objects that they hear, and over a long period of time can learn spoken language. Still, even after getting to the point where they can somewhat communicate with other parties, it takes even longer for them to get out of the habit of bad pronunciation, broken grammar, and messy speech patterns.

Mink-mink harpies used to be hunted by regular humans before an international act was signed into law preventing this from happening any further. They are still critically endangered to the point that it is estimated that there is currently only approx. 1 to 3 mink-mink harpies in each continent of the world, with an outlier exception of entire villages and clans of mink-mink harpies of varying population that populate their own tropical island.

It became rare for them to leave the island, as early mink-mink harpy explorers, like Frie's ancestors, who moved off the island and closer to advanced civilization sometime in the past, were never heard from again back on the island by those who saw them off.
