Jubba bird

Jubba birds were a non-sentient species of bird native to the swamps of the planet Dagobah, where they made their nests using mud. The birds were capable of manipulating the Force, which they used to calm others through songs and quiet their young when danger was near.

During the Galactic Civil War, a handful of smugglers captured jubba birds from the canopies of Dagobah, as the birds' soothing songs were prized throughout the galaxy. Jubba birds sang to the Jedi Yoda while he lived in exile on Dagobah, and when he died in 4 ABY they huddled in fear due to the dark presence that was no longer suppressed by the Jedi.
