Associations

Avians are associated with great number of mystical and supernatural abilities and connections in mythology and folklore, thus user with this power may have access to:

Albatross: Curse Inducement, Spirit Physiology (souls of lost sailors)
Crane: Human Disguise, Healing, Semi-Immortality, Martial Arts
Dodo: Cartoon Physics, Mortality
Nighthawks/Nightjars/Whip-poor-will: Death Sense, Spirit Physiology (souls of dead infants)
Pelicans: Afterlife Manipulation
Vultures: Guardianship

Limitations

Takes time for beginners in order to control their traits.
May be difficult/impossible to revert to original form.
Even partial physiology may cause user to be susceptible to Avian Manipulation.
