Avian

From below, Avians look much like large birds. Only when they descend to roost on a branch or walk across the ground does their anthropomorphic appearance reveal itself. Their height varies by subrace, with the smallest songbirds standing at just 3 feet and the tallest Ostrich reaching up to 8. Their long narrow legs end in sharp talons. Feathers cover their bodies. Their plumage varies by, and often within, their subrace as well.
Avians display many of the same mannerisms as Earth birds. They are fastidious about their plumage, frequently tending their feathers, cleaning and fluffing to their desired aethetic. When they deign to descend from the sky, it is often for a temporary purpose, like to eat or bathe, before they are aloft again. The notable exception, of course, are the flightless Avians.
Regardless of subrace or background, confinement terrifies the Avian. To be grounded, trapped underground, or imprisoned is a torment few of this race can withstand.
