A '''Bird''' was a type of animal, found on Earth and many other planets. Some intelligent [[alien|species]] seem to be descended from birds, like the [[Jacondan]], the [[Valnaxi]], the [[Dethak]], and the [[Shansheeth]]. The unnamed species of [[Mr and Mrs Pakoo]] was also birdlike. The planet [[Pheros]] was inhabited by intelligent robotic birds made of living metal and the [[Devil-Birds]] of [[Corbo]] were also robotic.
