Recall Range: 4

Bird-kin are avian humanoids, standing about five feet tall. they have bird heads and feathers all along their bodies, but like their cousins - the harpies, Bird-kin are mammalian, all bird-kin have nipples, and they give birth rather than laying eggs. Bird-kin cannot fly, they don't have wings, but they do have a unique bone structure that is both light and sturdy, allowing them to be the highest jumpers of any race, paired with their great vision and crazy muscle density, they make great ambush fighters and scouts. Bird-kin have two types of feathers, smaller, smoother, and shorter feathers along their entire bodies excluding their hands and feet, these feathers are almost like short fur, only centimeters away from the skin underneath. the second type of feathers that they have are big and fluffy, almost cloud like in a good amount of bird-kin, these feathers are only located on selective parts of the body - around their necks, around the shoulder part of their arms, sometimes on the head serving as hair, sometimes along the upper back and collarbone, and lastly right before the tough skin of their feet, draping over their feet like pants. They have claws almost as sharp as their talons, with tough grey, tan, or black skin, the feathers grow on this skin, and it starts at the knees and elbows, and ends at their hands and feet, this skin allows them to touch things like fire or catch blades without being hurt. There are no feathers on or around the genitalia, they have feathery tails right above their incredibly developed rears, bird-kin have human like genitalia.
