Kenku

Kenku are a strange species of flightless bird people that live throughout Exorsia and the Planes beyond. They lack the ability to independently produce speech, instead relying on their ability to mimic noise that they’ve heard, patching together snippets of others voices into language. Kenku are also flightless, yet have a strange genetic obsession with being able to fly.
Legends say that the Kenku came to be after a bird was cursed to be flightless and speechless by one of the Gods after spreading gossip, with all other Kenku descendants of that cursed Bird.
