Whisper bird

Whisper birds were a species of golden-colored bird native to the moon Yavin 4. 
==Biology and appearance==
The whisper bird had a distinct low-pitched call. Their ability to fly silently inspired the name 'whisper bird,' and they used that ability when hunting. Wild whisper birds subsisted on a diet of fish and weeds. Though hunters themselves, packs of predatory stintaril rodents would sometimes attack and overwhelm whisper birds while they were roosting.
==Behavior==
The birds lived in the moon's rain forests, silently traveling in flocksBefore the Awakening and roosting in the massassi trees that grew there. The birds could also be found on Coruscant and Null.
==History==
Following the Clone Wars, the cartographer Auric Graf owned a Mu-class shuttle named Whisper Bird due to its long bronze wings and perched appearance when landed.Adventures in Wild Space: The Escape
