The Silver Avery

A small bird's cage about the size of a nice lantern with a handle at the top. Swirling inside of it are tiny images of birds and other flying creatures (no one is quite sure whether its real birds or just images) When you open up the avery and give the name of a bird within the cage it lights on your hand and as it leaves the cage grows into the normal sized bird of its type.

The bird seems to be a relatively average member of its species it lives and breathes. The bird is under the command of the holder of the cage and the cage holder can perceive through its senses the bird at will. The bird can last until the sun changes from night to day or from day to night (depending on when the bird was pulled).

Each flying creature in the cage has its own name and hunting for the names can be adventures in and of itself as there are believed to be dragons and griffins and perhaps even more wondrous creatures within the cage.

Relatively known to history or the names of the hawk, dove, duck and owl. there are legends of a pegasus, griffin and a dragon to be found within the avery.
