Banshee bird

The banshee bird was an avian native to the planet of Corellia. It was known for its loud screams.

The wail of the banshee bird could be heard from miles away, and was used by the predator to flush prey out of undergrowth. Like most predatory birds, they could be tamed by a skilled trainer. They were often used by hunters, and were also pets for wealthy nobles. However, they were extremely claustrophobic and had to be kept in a large aviary.

They were considered very good companions, since they were loyal to those that treated them nicely and would viciously attack anyone they considered a threat to them or their master.

They were usually located on the wide-open savannahs or dense forests of Corellia, but they had been transported to other worlds with similar climates.
