Overview

Their melodies fill the woods of Toril with a mellow sweetness, and their feathers pain brush strokes on even the dullest sky.

— in-game racial description

Though the party encounters birds with varied personalities, are share low intelligences and the ability to fly. NPC birds can be talked to using  Speak with Animals. Birds are close cousins of giant eagles.

Transmutation wizards can transform into a bird using the Shapechanger ability, as can Circle of the Moon druids with Wild Shape: Dire Raven, or any character wearing the Corvid Token.
