On the levels [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], [[Regret (Level)|Regret]], [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]] and [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]], there are birds flying around in the sky. They are also in the Halo 3 multiplayer maps [[Guardian]], [[Epitaph]] and [[Last Resort]] where they can be examined more closely by using Flycam in Theater or Editor Mode in Forge. At first they seem like dinosaurs, but they are seen in High Charity, so it is also possible that the [[Covenant]] brought "food," and they are seen on Installation 05 because they would breed quickly. But then, if they are dinosaurs, the [[Covenant]] might bring specimens to their holy city. It may never be known if they are dinosaurs or wildlife brought by the [[Covenant]] to use as hunting game. This could be confirmed by the existence of the supply ship complete with a hunting preserve, [[Infinite Succor]] from the Halo Graphic Novel. [[Bungie]] may very well be the only ones to ever know.

Also, since we know that Halo contains a vast multitude of terrains and environments, much like Earth, it is possible that life has been developing on Halo over the 100,000 years that they have been dormant, such animals like the dino birds. Another reason why animals may NOT be seen is because they have the calcium store necessary for the Flood to infect, so the animals may have been destroyed by the guardians of the construct, and only avian-like animals survive since it was mentioned that [[Jackals]] do not have sufficient calcium mass to sustain the Flood.

In [[Halo 2]] and [[Halo 3]] these "birds" can be shot and killed; they are difficult to hit and, after being killed, they turn into a splatter of red blood.

It is highly likely that there is no real animal life on the Halo Installations because the Monitors used them as food for the [[Flood]] so they could further study them. The birds could be too hard to obtain for the Forerunners and/or their bodies do not contain enough calcium for the [[Flood]] to feed off of.
