The only Piñata that still looks sinister after its [[Sour]] incarnation is [[Tame|tamed]]. Despite the shifty appearance and [[Lickatoad|warty]] diet, tame Crowlas really are reformed characters, even helping to defend [[sickness|sick]] pinata.

'''Sour Crowla'''s are birds who rarely get more than a few feet off the ground when they fly. Some blame their scrawny wings for their lack of altitude, but the real reason has to do with their special diet. These [[sour]]s don’t bother with bite-size snacks like fruits or flowers. No, the only thing that satisfies their Sour Piñata-sized appetites is, well, [[sickness|sick]] Piñatas, and it’s hard to soar like an [[Eaglair]] when you’re stuffed full of Piñata stuffing. Imagine the indigestion!

Commonly asked questions
My crowlas get depressed really quickly and leave the garden? How can I keep them happy?

While a temporary fix is to feed them Happy candy, the real issue has to do with whether they like your garden or not. Like any other species, Crowlas like to have their Appear and Visit requirements met, to remain happy in a garden. Once you have four Lickatoads in your garden, they should stop getting sad and leaving.

In general, once you've tamed a sour, ask yourself "Does my garden have what it needs to attract a tame one from the wild?" If not, the one you've just tamed won't stay long, because the garden's not attractive to them. View thread
