This is a PG-13 rated site, so we mostly accept members 13 or older. However, I know there are some younger role players out there, like 12 and 11 year olds, possibly 10. But we do not accept younger members like 8, 7, or 6 year olds.
Most of the images here are not owned by the members and are just found off the internet. I do not own most of my pictures either.
Remember, please to not copy our site. It is just plain old rude to take everything off another site and claim it as your own. To be honest, I think that an original aite is much better than one that has copied some one elses. If you ever need help creating your own aite I would be happy to give you some ideas and help.
Here at HOY we have a 100 word minimum when roleplaying. This is to avoid having what I like to call, Chat Box Roleplaying. Chat Box Roleplaying is basiclly scentence by scentence roleplay. Here we are a bit more advanced. If you find that the word minimum is to difficult for you, I,would be happy to help you out a bit and also show you some Chat Box Roleplay sites if you would like!
After you have created your account, please go to the Members tab to make sure nobody else is currently using the name you are. If someone is using your current username, please change your display name to something else. This is to avoid confusion when we have two people with the same name, like Crow and Crow nobody would know who was talking to who. If two members still have the same name, the staff will PM the newer member asking them to change there name.

Out Of Character Rules
1. You must be respectful to everyone, especially the staff team. I will not accept any OOC fighting.
2. Swearing is aloud, but please do not go overboard. Small curse words like damn, crap, ect. are allowed but do not go overboard with swearing. The staff members will know what overboard swearing is and will stop any members from using it. Swearing will be kept OOC.
3. No chatspeak on the boards. Ex. Hey guys how r u doin. Chatspeak is allowed in the Shoutbox, but keep it small.
4. You may only advertise on the advertisement board. Do not PM people with ads.
5. If you have not logged in for a whole month, and have not told me why you have been gone, your account will be deleted. Though you are free to rejoin and have all of your cats back, just remember to tell me next time you are gonna be gone.
Character Creation Rules
6. Your flock leader will choose your bird's full name. So please don't right what there full name will be when they still are a hatchling or learner. Though if you create your bird as a flyer you can pick your own full name for them.
7. I know that some birds can be pretty colorful, but I will not accept birds with purple, pink, and glittery feathers with blue eyes. Keep it realistic.
8. All images must be sourced. Unless they are your own, Ex. You made digital art, or took a picture IRL.
General Roleplay Rules
9. No powerplaying. Birds don't have super powers, they are not invincible, ect. Do not RP as some one elses bird unless you have permission from them.
10. No innapropiate content. This goes for IC and OOC.
11. No suicidal,or self-harming birds. A bird's instinct is to survive, so unless it is trying to bite off it's leg or wing to get out of a trap, there will be none of this.
12. There are no limits to characters or threads. You can have as much characters as you can handle, and be in as much threads as you can take. When joining HOY you will be able to create your first ten characters for free. After your first ten characters, you will use feathers to create more. Adopting somebody elses character or hatchlings is always free.
Romantic Relationship Rules
13. Birds do not have to be mates in order to have eggs. However there will be no forced mating. So both RPers agree in OOC and both birds agree in IC. The parents must have atleast 5 threads together and they each have made 5 posts in each thread. You can RP,out the breeding and that would count as a thread as long as it has 5 posts for each RPer.
14. Forbidden relationships are allowed. But you must have a roll done to see wether the two birds are caught or not. All high positions can have a mate and eggs if they choose to. Healer birds will most likely be in IC trouble if caught. If a high position has hatchlings there place will be filled until the hatchlings become learners.
15. 6 eggs is the maximum you can normally get in a litter, and you can buy as much extra eggs as you'd like at the store. Birds can have up to 3 free litters in there life, you can purchase as many more as you'd like at the store though.
16. Because this is a semi-realistic roleplay, two Birds od the same gender may not have eggs together.
