Their faces are dominated by large beaks that curve downward. Some Avians have varying colors of feathers and shapes of beaks. All have the colorless black beady eyes of crows or sparrows. The bird people also have large wings and taloned feet. They have hollow bones and tend to live for about sixty years.
