Firebird

Firebirds are an ornithian species that can control the temperature of objects, making them hotter or colder. They can also change the color of their feathers depending on the temperature, ranging from warm reds, pinks, and oranges, to cool blues and grays. Young firebirds must take time to hone this magic and color changing abilities, always being born white or gray.This elemental power is mitigated by their low intelligence and desire to mate with other species, so they are usually not violent. Firebirds live in deserts, river valleys, and sometimes swamplands. Humans and other species sometimes enslave them for their elemental abilities.

They form massive colonies in their native habitats and build nomadic settlements, migrating to other areas each generation.
