Another reason I like characters with bird wings is one of my favorite childhood books: The juvenile novel Black and Blue Magic by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. Wikipedia says it came out in 1967 and I must have first read it within a couple of years at most. I now have an ex-school library hardback book of the 1972 edition.

I (and author) suggest reading 'Pioneers' first.
Many of the MORPHS (Universe) stories have flyers of all sorts. (Note: parts of some stories can be quite dark ...)
