[Mission complete: Eat bugs that pass by until becoming a young adult parrot]
[+5 Status points, +20 System points]
The three months were boring as she could only eat bugs, level up, and sleep. she noticed her feathers growing and she had also grown to be a little over one foot tall. The feathers that grew were a light pink, her flight feathers had a little mix of white in them as well.
'Can parrots even be a natural shade of pink? Hm maybe they do in this world.'
Remembering that she finally got system points, opened her status to check if she had really gotten them. The levels she gained eating, but mostly just killing, every bug that came into her sights was impressive enough.

While she killed bugs they gave status points every once in while as well as exp, which she added to her health, agility, and defense for good measure.
she was a little bitter about how little skills she had, but she could only sigh as she couldn't complain.
'System store!'
Two blue holographic tabs appeared in front of her, one said skills and the other said items. She thought about the skills tab and a list of skills were named below the two tabs with the amount of skill points needed next to them.
[Skills] - [Items]
Mimic -- 20
Greater Agility -- 25
Steel Talons -- 25
Razor Feather -- 30
-ect.-
Without thinking much she bought Mimic since it was the only one she could afford. It was only later she realized how useless it was when the description showed up.
"WAIT WHAT WHY DID I BUY THIS!!!? NOOO~ GIVE ME BACK MY PRECIOUS POINTS BACK! ARRRRGGGGHH!!!!"
Still sobing internally she really had no use for a skill like that and there were no refunds. Then the system sounded giving her a new mission.
[Mission: fly continuosly for 5 minutes at least 20 feet off the ground. Reward: +20 system points]
[0/5.00]
'I'm not getting any status points for this one? Well, whatever at least I'll get some system points instead."
Walking over the edge she had a confident look and took a large jump off the edge. she didn't know how to fly. That was the moment when she realized it and started falling and the ground got closer and closer.
"AAAAaAAAAaaAAAAAaAAAaaAA!!!!!!!!!"
But by some sort of miracle she closed her eyes and for a while but didn't feel like she hit the ground.
'what...'
She was flying, well more like gliding, but she wasn't falling.She let out a sigh of relief.
'I just need to start flapping my wings for 5 minutes and I'll be done.. phew!'
[Innate Skill: Basic Flight (level 1)]
'I gained a skill? It say basic flight does that mean there's also advanced flight too? Do I just level it up?"
[Notice: When mastering an innate skill it can advance to a better skill.]
[Mission complete: Fly continuously for 5 minutes]
[+20 system points]
'now that I think about it i've been flying for quite a while..."
Looking back she had been so absorbed in her own thoughts and the mission that she lost sight of the nest or tree she had been on. She had no idea where she was or how to get back. Everything in sight was just the leaves of trees in the densly packed forest.
Continuing to fly in search of something was all she could do when she caught a glimpse of what looked like a large jaguar walking through the leaves, it scared her so much that she'd rather continue to fly.
"sob* at least my flight skill will level up..."
She was even more depressed when she got a warning from the system.
[Warning: Host is being targeted by a cloud eagle]
She stopped flying and in a panic looked around trying to find the eagle. Looking up was an almost completely white eagle around her own size circling around her. The only thing that gave its camouflage away was the faint yellow beak and black talons.
