Bird

''"So let me get this straight. You want to send this little guy, who I raised from an egg, into the middle of enemy territory where you're too afraid to send your army. Have you even SEEN the hit points on this poor thing?!" - unknown Bird handler''

Birds are small, unarmed units that can be used for scouting.

Description
Birds are light, airborne scouts. While rather expensive, they can be produced very early in the game and used to keep an eye on enemy movements and expansions.

Abilities
None

Upgrades
None

Usage
Birds are relatively uncommon. However, they can be used to scout when the enemy has walled off or otherwise defended against ground units, or on maps with a much shorter air distance than ground.

In addition, Birds are sometimes used as spotters to gain vision for long-range units like Catapults, or to gain high-ground vision when attacking up a ramp.
