Birds

[conlanger]

I’ve decided that the Nahul word for ‘crow’ is surakh, which also meant deciding that this world has crows in the first place. (Now that that’s settled, I need to know a word for ‘crow’ in Beldreeni as well, because I can’t picture crows only existing on the one continent!)

This makes me wonder – what bird words have you come up with in your languages? Whether it’s the word for ‘bird’, for specific species or types of birds, or other bird-related words. Are the species invented, too? Anything else you feel like sharing about birds in your languages, or in your worldbuilding?

(I think this is the first time I start a new post. Not sure how to tag it – suggestions welcome!)
