Messenger Birds

Some world-building! Originally, messenger birds came when called and went to the intended recipient without being told where the intended recipient was. Still, without fail, the birds found the people, even though they were not where they usually are. Very unlikely and difficulty needed changing. So, here are the birds and the reasons how they know where to go.

AREN'T THEY SO CUTE?! Anyway, these birds are a little smaller than cats. Their saliva acts like ink (their heads were based on fountain ink pens). They can be taught how to write and love writing down whatever they hear. Trained, these birds will listen to a spoken letter and write it down. The person giving the letter will say the intended recipient's name and the bird, trained to fly to a certain location when they hear a certain name, will fly off to the location.

Now, there are two ways to send a letter: write it down, attach it to the bird, and say the name. Or, tell the bird the letter and send it off to the intended recipient's place. There, the bird will find a piece of paper and write down the letter it heard.

These birds remember words from previous letters and write them out because they want to. It is very important to give these birds pieces of paper where they can write when they want to. Otherwise, they write on the walls, floors, or any place they think suitable.

There are two messenger birds; the kinds used by the Dregonites (noble class) and the kinds used by everyone else (lower classes). The first kind is a high-flying eagle. They have an excellent memory of faces so they are trained to go find a certain person's face at a word. The bird will fly around, looking for a face that matches the one in its memory. Once found, the bird will deliver the message tied to its leg.

This is the same with the lower-class bird that has no orange. They are more location-based. They will fly to the place where they last saw the person. If the person was not there, they may or may not continue the search.

There are many kinds of birds, but birds that can speak are used. Basically, they play telephone. You tell the bird the message, the bird flies to the next bird closest to the person the message is for, tells that bird. That bird will either tell the intended recipient or, if they are farther away, fly to the next bird. This repeats until the message is delivered to the intended recipient. Messages can and will get garbled.

The other way of sending a message is using a trained sea bird. This one is normal as in you tie the message to the leg of the bird, give it a piece of cloth that has the intended recipient's scent, and let the bird hunt.
