Despite the iffy hearing, one thing most Aurelians have kept through their evolutions is the existence of the paratympanic vitali organ. A middle-ear sensory organ that allows them to pick up on subtle weather shifts. If it's going to rain, or snow, or something of that nature, if it hasn't been picked up on a weather readout, they will likely know that it's going to rain quite a while before most other people know because of feeling the atmospheric shifts that come with it. | Despite the iffy hearing, one thing most Aurelians have kept through their evolutions is the existence of the paratympanic vitali organ.

They do not have sweat glands, and cool down by fluffing up the feathers a bit, opening their wings to spread their feathers, and also what appears to be panting, but is really called "fluttering".

Due to cooperation and their very well-kept planet, they don't suffer a whole lot of extreme illnesses or medical issues, and so have evolved in such a way that it is the norm for Aurelians to live for a good few hundred years, the record for longest-lived Aurelian was aged in the low 500s, but most often it's in the 400s age range. | Due to cooperation and their very well-kept planet, they don't suffer a whole lot of extreme illnesses or medical issues, and so have evolved in such a way that it is the norm for Aurelians to live for a good few hundred years, the record for longest-lived Aurelian was aged in the low 500s, but most often it's in the 400s age range. | ||
