Raising it

The Thunderbird comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 5,300 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Thunderbird every 2 minutes 35 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 2 minutes 8 seconds at level 2 and 1 minute 35 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 3,850 gold to level 2 and 17,450 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

Before it can be raised at all it has to be unlocked in the Armory, for 3,900 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
