Avian

Avians or birds were a classification of animal, generally characterized as warm-blooded vertebrates which reproduce by laying eggs. Many avians had adapted body structures which gave them the ability to fly, including feathers and wings. A female bird is sometimes referred to as a hen.

Many different species of birds are native to Earth. Spock noted the presence of birds over the Pacific Ocean while on shore leave at Kauai's Ka'a Beach in Hawaii. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)

The farmers on the Armada, a series of agricultural domes, introduced birds and insects into its ecosystem to regulate infestations rather than using pesticides. (TNG comic: "Space Seeds")

An avian trader conducted business on Deep Space 9 in 2370. When it was startled by a group of Horta it accidentally got its talons stuck in a nearby Gelloid. (DS9 novel: Devil in the Sky)

When Nog was offered an omelet by Vic Fontaine in 2376 he declined upon recalling Earth omelets were typically made with bird's eggs and flavoured mold, a thought which disgusted him. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book Two)
