I really like the idea of animal-like humanoid using furs / feathers as natural clothing, for it has a realistic sense that I appreciate. I also enjoy how your article is made through bullet points, which are easy to understand and accessible. I would havve liked to learn more about their history in the article, or have more precise anatomical description, though, for this article leaves me confused if standing on his own. I followed some link which raised more questions but finaly confusion overrode curiosity. I think you might be able to give more context and clarity to your articles in the future. Overall I really enjoyed this idea and bird-like person with birdlike communication sounds fun !
