Temperament - Typical Avic. Fling poo, tend to jump (this is if handled/startled) don't normally bite. I've got 2 here and they seem to grow slower than other avics but they are lovely. Keep dry, they don't like water too much, whereas most avics are kept wet these don't like it and it kills them. I mist one bit of the web weekly and keep temps about 75-80F

Longevity - Males 2 years to maturity, then about 6 months to 1 year after mature
Females about 15 years?

Venom toxicity - they rarely bite but wouldnt of thought it'd be much more than itchy and sting at the time tbh
