These birds live within the Morray Woods away from civilization. They tend not to get near towns, hence why they don’t inhabit the outskirts of Whistler Crest. They are very solitary and hunt by themselves. These territorial birds will fight each other for space and do not come together unless it is mating season. 

Razorquills lay eggs and are incredibly protective of their babies. Baby Razorquills are particularly hardened against their parents needle-like defenses, so a mother will tuck her babies underneath her sharp feathers when defending against attackers or intruders. The male is not present in raising the babies, and a baby Razorquill will leave the den around 3 months of age when their feathers are able to harden like their mother’s. They leave to claim their own territory and will not return home.
