Greetings, I'm Prof. Ascari, your new Care of Magical Creatures Teacher. We've arranged an outdoor activity for you but the weather had other plans. So apologies for that. 

Now we're going to talk about the Golden Snidget. 

The Golden Snidget is an extremely rare, protected species of bird. Completely round, with a very long, thin beak and glistening, jewel-like red eyes, the Golden Snidget is an extremely fast flier that can change direction with uncanny speed and skill, owing to the rotational joints of its wings.

NEWTON SCAMANDER, FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

You can refer Page 106 in ur textbook. But humbug, who wants textual stuff in here?

This creature requires extreme care, and is very much endangered. It was used in Quidditch before being replaced with the Golden Snitch. Now here's the beauty. *Takes out a creature from my suitcase like Newt*.

It’s amazing how the snitch was based from this wonderful creature.

Limunary

True

Limunary

but quidditch killed the bird and drove it to near extinction

A rather sad story for such a wonderful young creature there is debate whether it is extinct or not (I dearly hope it isn't and that Newt Scamander had kept one alive but alas I don't know)

Limunary

It's alive

Very cute, was the snitch in quidditch based on this creature?

Dennis_Pobart

Because they somehow look alike

Limunary

The golden snitch was a replacement

Limunary

the bird was used first

Dennis_Pobart

Ok, thanks professor

Limunary

sure

Limunary

The skilled metal-charmer Bowman Wright invented the Golden Snitch to replace it. Correct!

Dennis_Pobart

I have a fun fact

Dennis_Pobart

The snidget was introduced to quidditch by Barberus Braage in 1269

Limunary
