: It carries food all day long. When someone is lost in the mountains, it shares that food.
: Delibird carries its food bundled up in its tail. There once was a famous explorer who managed to reach the peak of the world’s highest mountain, thanks to one of these Pokémon sharing its food.

: Although it naturally prefers colder locales, Delibird in Alola seem able to withstand the heat to a certain extent.
: It has a generous habit of sharing its food with people and Pokémon, so it’s always scrounging around for more food.
: It shares its food with people who are stranded. Because Delibird is omnivorous, sometimes it gives those people bug Pokémon.
: It wraps food in its tail to carry it around. The Delibird with the biggest tail is the boss of the flock!
