Baiame was the second son of Bunjil and Gnowee. Due to his enormous strength, his father tasked him to uphold the heavens. However, he is known to have a joyous temperament, as when it rains it is because he relieves himself on the realms of his siblings. He does this because the only creatures to enter his own domain are birds, and only for a short period of time, so his life is somewhat dull.
He is the patron of falchoners and aircraft pilots, but also very important for peasants and farmers.
