Birds count! One of my fellow 'prentices has a raven for her brother-in-fur. Feathers in his case, technically.

[Pod takes a long look at the chocobo, smiling all the while.]

And a very majestic bird this one is. Aye, my things should work well enough on them, though if you know any things they might not take well to--some beasts might get sick if they eat something another eats all the time and the like--best to tell me so I can make sure it's not in there.
