Kenku Parentage

Kenku are avian Humanoids that stand around 5 feet tall and weigh between 90 and 120 pounds. Soft, sleek, dark feathers cover their bodies. They tread lightly when they walk, on talons made for grasping the branches of trees and seizing prey from the lofty skies.
Indeed, kenku were not always flightless folk. Sometime in the not-too-distant past, the kenku had wings. Vestiges of this heritage are evident in their hollow bones, light frames, and flight-honed instincts. Legends abound about how the kenku lost their wings, but everyone has a different theory.
Another defining aspect of kenku is their ability to remember everything they see and hear perfectly. Some kenku even train themselves to repeat back in the same voice in which the words were uttered.
