Ornith

(OR-niff)

While not all Orniths are the most adept at flight, this talent has enabled them to spread far and wide and gives them a unique perspective on travel and territory. Many Orniths, particularly those that are alike, give each other plenty of space if friendly. Otherwise, similar Orniths may battle for a particular niche in an area or community. Partitioning translates to Ornith families and collectives too, where talents become highly fought for and specialized. The enormous diversity of Orniths owes much to this process.
