Spirals don't "fly," per se. They bunch up like a snake ready to strike or a spring and then jump up. Their wings are mainly to help with soaring and guiding direction.
In order to make music, Fae dragons attach bells to themselves since they can't sing. The base setup that every Fae can use is a six note range, with six bells: one for each arm, leg, and wing. Some Fae dragons have trained intensively and can also attach bells to their tail, ear fins, and little wing ornamentations (at the edge of the wing). This makes a maximum of 21 notes and allows for complex songs.
Fae dragons have also made a song specifically designed to annoy Coatls. The pitches and rhythms emulate words in the Coatl language- more specifically, insults. "You're just a glorified, feathery snake," "your breath reeks of fish, brush your teeth," "put your tongue back in your mouth, you look like a panting dog." Fae dragons only play this song when they're being passive aggressive because their Coatl clanmates are annoying them. When confronted by the Coatl dragons, Fae dragons play innocent and pretend not to know what's going on.
The Lightweaver has so many dragons exalted to her and under her service that she can't even give them all tasks. There is a small minority of dragons who have permanent tasks as aides in the Lightweaver's research and eternal quest for knowledge. The rest of the dragons take turns doing chores, such as cooking, cleaning, and organizing. At any given time, only about 5-10% of the exalted dragons are working. The rest are napping, reading, or playing glitterball. Glitterball is a sport very similar to volleyball played with a somewhat fragile ball made of glitter. Instead of getting the ball on the other team's ground, the goal is to have the glitterball break on the other team's side. Since the glitterball is fragile, it makes for an interesting, Jenga-like dynamic: if you try to set the other team up for failure, you risk accidentally messing up and losing yourself.
Male Ridgebacks (as in the ones with the long noses, not necessarily their gender) fish by spearing fish with their nose. They remove the fish by rubbing their nose against a rock or tree branch. If they are unable to remove the fish before another Ridgeback finds them, then the Ridgeback they encounter will help them remove the fish, but they will take half of the fish. As a result, female Ridgebacks will move rocks and cut tree branches that could be used to remove fish and will walk along the water when they know male Ridgebacks are fishing. Male Ridgebacks still haven't figured this out.
The Shadowbinder, who loves her children very much, has ensured that all mushrooms in her territory are safe to eat. Though the other deities also love the members of their flight, they haven't bothered eliminating dangerous mushroom species from their territories. As a result, many plant-eating Shadow dragons traveling outside their territory often get sick or demented from unwittingly eating poisonous or hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Baby Snappers are called "dumplings."
Dragons that are large and strong enough carry their familiars on their backs when traveling.
Bogsneaks like to sun themselves on rocks like lizards. They are also very lazy. They befriend the familiars of Coatl and Imperial dragons. When the Coatl or Imperial is traveling somewhere the Bogsneak wants to go, the Bogsneak will ride with the familiar on the dragon's back. Bogsneaks, like I said, are extremely lazy. They will do this even if they only want to travel a few feet. When the Coatl or Imperial realizes that a Bogsneak has hitched a ride, they are usually not very happy. However, Bogsneaks have figured out a way to combine plants to make a concoction that smells a lot like squirrel pheromones. When a Coatl or Imperial angers a Bogsneak by refusing them a ride, the Bogsneak will pour the concoction on them and watch as the offending dragon is swarmed by thousands of squirrels.
Tundra parents will weave the fur on their chest to form a braided pouch in which they can carry their hatchlings. Tundras themselves have paws and can't do this braiding themselves, so they will hire other dragons or enlist the help of a familiar. This has made the centaur familiars, who are talented weavers, popular and valued companions among Tundra dragons.
