This is coming from a birder who's been at it for over a decade-- I just can't do it. I feel like I know too much about bird biology to find bird characters sexy, lol.
Catgirls-- relatable! Puppy girls, bunny girls, etc-- cool, good! We're all mammals here. I can be like "yeah she has mammary glands and gives live birth, good enough for me."
Bird girls?
Where not even all of them have arms?
Where some parts of the skin might be covered in feathers?
And who knows if their feet are human or bird-claw-things.
Does she lay eggs?
Does she regurgitate processed food for her young?
How big's her crop?
Birds are basically just modern dinosaurs. And I'm not enough of a scalie for that. (:
