Hummingbird Hiro: Yeah, Hiro ends up half-asleep a lot. He goes a bit cold, he barely breathes, his eyelids droop, he stiffens...but he remains conscious. Barely. And yeah, he gets picked up and carried around a lot. (Baymax is designed to care for all, but hummingbirds need a bit more care than everyone else-in between general anti-winged prejudice, the fact that they are mistaken for dead so easily, and everything else, they have a pretty high death rate. )
Fred is NOT a swan. Swans are terrifying. If you so much as LOOK at a baby swan the wrong way the parent swans will try to eat your eyeballs and break your bones with their wings. (They can ACTUALLY break bones with their wings. ) Fred would be a fancy breed of pigeon.
I’m just picturing Hummingbird!Hiro snuggling up in Baymax’s arms and just being carried around for a day while Baymax is following after Tadashi and aaaaah, so cute! I imagine Tadashi and Aunt Cass worry about Hiro pretty much all the time though. He’s so delicate and wee, he’s probably breaking bones all the time.
Oh I know, I’ve lived near enough rivers and lakes to have tangled with swans in the past. They’re almost as bad as the GEESE. But I was thinking more along the lines of birds that are associated with high status, and even if Swans are evil, they tend to be highly thought of.
Besides, are you trying to say Fred WOULDN’T bite people? (I can totally see him rocking peacock wings though. For the record yes peacocks can fly and yes it is awesome)
