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 !

I like how the old Kenkus are revered for their ability to use different voices. Do kenkus sometimes use different voices to change the meanings of words or phrases? Or are there additional social meanings to this? I would also like a little more information on what you mean by kenkus living in "regular" society, and how they speak.   Good article, very accessible and easy to read! I like how you synergized the information in the main body with the sidebar.
