"If someone is found moving too quickly with intention they will receive an immediate bird sacrifice"
🪶 1. Maximum Movement Speeds

Walking (Diamond Tier+)1 km/h (0.62 mph)
Vehicle (if permitted)10 km/h (6.2 mph)
Birdback (riding sacred birds) As fast as the bird wishes — you cannot direct it
🪨 2. Mandatory Rest Intervals
🐦 3. Bird Right-of-Way
All movement must cease if a bird is seen within 50 meters.
You must kneel and let the bird pass. Failure to do so is considered avian disrespect (punishable by the ritual of a thousand pecks execution)
If the Bird is within 3 meters (10 feet) of a radius around your person you must pray and kiss it
