Dancing spin

Found on the Inner Rim planet Birren, the dancing spin was one of several types of bird that the human Kata Akuna watched while living there with her family. Having left Birren and lost both her parents, Akuna later joined the crew of the luxury yacht Stinger Mantis in 9 BBY, and in that year, she tried to list all the birds she remembered from Birren, including the dancing spin, while on board the yacht. The Mantis owner, Greez Dritus, overheard the list and asked what Akuna was doing, which Akuna explained, but when he asked for more information on the birds since he had never been to Birren, she put off the discussion till later.
