If you were wondering what these birbs are: fancypigeon.deviantart.com/art… you now know. As modeled by my own character here, the "coat" is actually the wings. It's an optical illusion!

This idea has probably been done before and I doubt I'm the first one to come up with that name but whatever, I like drawing them and I wanted to put up a reference for myself. I usually just call them 'birbs' but I thought they also needed a name that was more specific, although I might change it. I've been working on these guys for a while and I thought I'd share.

Idk how this species stuff works haha. I don't know if I want them to be a closed species or an open species or something in between, I just like giving them to my friends. I'm considering trying to sell designs because textbooks are expensive, let me know if you're interested!

Anyway, some more info on these birbs:
- they are highly intelligent, about the same as humans; they are basically bird people
- they can fly but usually only for short distances
- all grifflets have a little bit of magic, which they use to craft "heart stones"
- sometimes they can use other kinds of magic, such as healing, but this is uncommon and is generally very weak
- heart stones are usually worn over the wings since they are part of what allows an individual to be recognised as a grifflet

That's all I've really figured out so far. Some info may be up to change. I think eventually I will make a google doc with more detailed info. Feel free to ask questions about them!
