And there was a beast who changed gender a few times as well in Redwall. There were also a dog(mentioned) and a horse. Come on Argy, it was Jakesy's first Redwall book. The man wasn't perfect :P [Besides all that, the part about Warbeak being of equal age as Matthias is simple: when a bird is a year old(mature), a mouse would be far more than 13 years old(human maturity). 4 seasons is a year, but seasons aren't exactly the same for a mouse as years are for us or else Matthias would take 4 real years(16 seasons) to mature into an adult, which is an idea worthy of ridicule for a mouse, which matures in just 6 weeks!]
