Huh, neat! That reminds me of the sirens in The Witcher 3, they're not super bird like in appearance but they do have wings/talons and are capable of flight. They also act kind of like seagulls imo, they're raucous, loud, annoying, and they swoop at you constantly.

Have you seen the sirens from Restaurant to Another World? They've got bird feet and wings.

Sirens were always bird people, I dunno what happened, but sailor lore got them conflated with mermaids and now the two terms are basically interchangeable.

Fun fact: Male Sirens used to exist in folklore, but phased out around the 5th century BCE.

Hey, friendly reminder to drink water, stretch, and take a short break if you can. Stay healthy! Also, don't forget about any chores or tasks you might be putting off.

sirens were originally bird people! part of the mythology was their singing was so beautiful because it was like a bird's. they perched on rocky outcroppings and sang, and some sirens were more human-shaped and played instruments like lyres and pipes.

eventually the mythology got mixed up with mermaids, which were also claimed to lure sailors to their deaths in the sea.

also fun fact, there's archaeological evidence of dude sirens in art but at some point they just completely disappear from the record.
