Blue Prophets
From The Fifth City Wiki
"A mortal battle against parrots. That's the Elder Continent for you."[1]
Blue Prophets are an unusual type of bird native to the Elder Continent.[1] A single Prophet is about as threatening as an average large parrot, but in flocks they can be vicious. Their feathers are sky-blue and are considered rather valuable, especially in London and the Khanate,[2] but unfortunately, their value has dropped due to recent supply increases.[3]
Blue Prophets receive their title from the belief that they speak the names of those about to die. It's difficult to tell whether or not this is true or superstition, since they mostly seem to utter squawks, but seasoned zailors still try to pick out familiar names in their calls regardless.[4]
