Whisper bird

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.

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.

Whisper birds were first mentioned in the Star Wars Legends novel Young Jedi Knights: Heirs of the Force, which was released in 1995 and written by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta. The species was confirmed to be canon by the reference book Ultimate Star Wars, which was released in 2015.
