Avian Court

Council of Birds
An Avian court is a powerful thing, half memory and culture among its constituents. The other half is an animal weaving of magic and spells which remembers favors, slights and insults and metes out judgement, boons and punishments. It is completely possible for humans and animals to entreat and even gain high standing with an Avian Court. But the boons that one will receive are generally less appreciated by none birds. These include shiny trinkets, select/favored foods (of the flock's preferred type). protection against dangers via the court, good standing among court members and possibly even inclusion/adoption by a noble bird family. Beyond that they can also learn gossip about the going-ons of interest to the Court's constituents. The ire of the Avian court is more readily recognizable and terrible to behold. Wrathful birds summoning the terrors and nightmares of their kind down on those they hate.

Mostly this is in the form of spectral eagles and egg eaters.
