The Avians, also known as Aviae Pythos, are a species of sapient and humanoid birds, hailing and mainly found in the Mur Refuge, Sparkalia.
Their adeptness at high altitudes has made them a proficient species with the capacity to go where others cannot. The Avians generally live in small to large Chiefdoms, each governed by either a Matriarch or Patriarch.
Avians are generally able to glide and make long leaps but not fly with their wings. Although some Avians are able to fly, none are able to fly for long distances due to the much larger weight.
Anatomy
Avians stand more upright than other birds (thanks to evolution) with their knees freed from their hips just like humans. Avians claws, of which they have four on each limb, give them added grip on harsh terrain so they can easily traverse their homes in the uneven steppes. They’re also lightweight with hollow bones but still much heavier then their non-sapient counterparts.
Avians have exceptional long-distance vision and can see if a tree has fruits or not from far away. They are also an dimorphic species with males and females looking quite different from each other.
