Animal-talent fairies are Never Fairies who interact, care for, and raise animals to be sent off to the Mainland.
Talent Overview[]
Animal-talent fairies have the unique ability to speak with any animal in its native tongue, whether it be raccoon, bird, tree frog, or squirrel. They are extremely sensitive and can "read" an animal's thoughts or emotions. They know when an animal is frightened or sick and can tend to its needs to help it feel better. Like the animals they work with, animal-talent fairies have a keen sense of smell and excellent hearing. They are skilled trackers and are frequently called upon to help find fairies who have lost their way in the woods. All animal talent fairies are deeply integrated into Never Land's fauna and strive to keep it harmonious.
Although in the books Mother Dove is dear to all who live in Pixie Hollow, the ones who know and understand her best are the animal-talents.
When Tinker Bell arrived in Pixie Hollow and destroyed the preparations for spring in Tinker Bell (2008 film), she created a gadget called the Flower Sprayer, which can paint ladybugs' backs, flowers and other things much faster. Since then, many of the Animal-talent fairies use this to change the seasons faster.
This guild's symbol is a fairy-sized egg and the color is orange.[1]

Talent Symbols[]
A player choosing to become an Animal-Talent in Pixie Hollow Online
Upon a fairy's arrival, each talent is represented by an object for them to choose from. If a Never Fairy is born to be an Animal-Talent, then an egg will shine brightly once they've gotten near it. This is confirmed in Pixie Hollow Online, where if the player chooses to be an Animal-Talent, an egg will shine brightly.
In the films, Animal Talents are typically represented by hues of orange and brown. This can be seen through their clothes, as they wear mostly orange & brown throughout the movies. In The Pirate Fairy (film), Zarina's Animal-Talent Dust is orange as well. Another Animal-Talent symbol is their flag featured in the Pixie Hollow Games, which is an orange flag with a paw print in the center.
In the books, however, Animal-Talents wear multiple colors.
