The Bounded Plague HighHumidityTribe believes that birds who spend too much time on the ground can become ground-addicted, lose their ability to fly, begin to rot, and eventually transform into new trees. Members are taught to avoid the ground whenever possible. The belief is passed down through generations as a warning to protect the flock. Not everyone believes in it. CanopyFruit questions its existence, while Echofluff firmly defends the tradition. This creates tension between skepticism and loyalty to the tribe's teachings.
