Good thinking - develop a series of stylised cartoon cards, and list the
various "powers" that each of the birdemons have, with offensive and
defensive skills and points values when traded [or seen in the wild].
Just to make things interesting, the numbers of each card could be
varied in line with actual populations - ground parrots and cassowaries
would be rare, while magpies and miners would be common.
