Biography
Volatilus (somewhat incorrect Latin for 'flying' or 'rapid') was usually known simply as "Volly." Greylings were very fast fliers and were thus used as couriers and lookouts. Volatilius was bred for great speed, and while this result was achieved, it seemed Volly lost much in terms of intelligence. Volly was therefore described as "simple," but he was very affectionate towards his captain.
Volly and James commonly delivered mail to all the British coverts, and even brought news to Laurence when he was on the HMS Allegiance transport ship.
James boasted that Volly could remain aloft for an hour in good weather by beating his wings only once.
In his diet, Volly particularly liked cows.
