Finch - "In the ground zone, and on the ground itself, are certain birds, some flighted, like the hook-billed gort, which preys largely on rodents, such as ground urts, and the insectivorous whistling finch, and some unflighted, like the grub borer and lang gim." ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Finch, whistling - "In the ground zone, and on the ground itself, are certain birds, some flighted, like the hook-billed gort, which preys largely on rodents, such as ground urts, and the insectivorous whistling finch, and some unflighted, like the grub borer and lang gim." ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Fleer, hook-billed - "My master looked upward, at the moons. From through the trees, on the other side of the camp, came what I took to be the sound of a bird, the hook-billed, night-crying fleer, which preys on nocturnal forest urts. The cry was repeated three times."  ~Slave Girl of Gor, page 117~

Fleer, long-billed - "A bird that inhabits the emergent level of the rainforests of Schendi. In the level of the emergents there live primarily birds, in particular parrots, long-billed fleers, and needle-tailed lits." 
~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Fruit tindel - "In the second level, that of the canopies, is found an incredible variety of birds, warblers, finches, mindars, the crested lit and the common lit, the fruit tindel, the yellow gim, tanagers, some varieties of parrot, and many more." ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Gant, artic - "I stepped aside to let a young girl pass, who carried two baskets of eggs, those of the migratory arctic gant. They nest in the mountaim of the Hrimgar and in steep, rocky outcroppings, called bird cliffs, found here and there jutting out of the tundra. The bird cliffs doubtless bear some geological relation to the Hrimgar chains. When such eggs are frozen they are eaten like apples."  ~Beasts of Gor, page 196~

Gant, jungle - "Along the river, of course, many other species of birds may be found, such as jungle gants, tufted fishers and ring-necked and yellow-legged waders."  ~Explorer of Gor, page 311~

Gant, marsh - "I heard a bird some forty or fifty yards to my right; it sounded like a marsh gant, a small, horned, web-footed aquatic fowl, broad-billed and broad-winged. Marsh girls, the daughters of rence growers, sometimes hunt them with throwing sticks."  ~Raiders of Gor, page 4~

Gim, horned - "It was a small bird, about the size of a sparrow, but it looked a bit like a tiny owl, with tufts over its eyes. It was purplish. It looked at me quizzically. It was perched on some split piping."  ~Captive of Gor, page 39~

Gim, lang - "In the ground zone, and on the ground itself, are certain birds, some flighted, like the hook-billed gort, which preys largely on rodents, such as ground urts, and the insectivorous whistling finch, and some unflighted, like the grub borer and lang gim."  ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Gull, vosk - "A gull of the Vosk Delta and Vosk River, it apparently has a loud or insistent cry, which is imitated by the rence people as a means of surreptitious communication at night. It's feathers are used on sheaf arrows. It winters on the prairies of the Wagon Peoples and flies north in the spring, when the ice breaks up." ~Nomads of Gor, page 137~

Herlit - "It was peeled Ka-la-na wood and, from its top, there dangled two long, narrow, yellow, black-tipped feathers, from the tail of the taloned Herlit, a large, broad-winged, carnivorous bird, sometimes in Gorean called the Sun Striker, or, more literally, though in clumsier English, Out-of-the-sun-it-strikes, presumably from its habit of making its descent and strike on prey, like the tarn, with the sun above and behind it." 
~Savages of Gor, page 143~

Herlit, forest - "The first southern migrations of meadow kites," he said, "have already taken place. The migrations of the forest hurlit and the horned aim do not take place until later in the spring. This is the time that the Vosk gulls fly." ~Nomads of Gor, page 138~

Hermit - "Somewhere, far off, but carrying through the forest, was the rapid, staccato slap of the sharp beak of the yellow-breasted hermit bird, pounding into the reddish bark of the tur tree, hunting for larvae."
~Hunters of Gor, page 106~

Hook-billed Gort - "In the ground zone, and on the ground itself, are certain birds, some flighted, like the hook-billed gort, which preys largely on rodents, such as ground urts, and the insectivorous whistling finch, and some unflighted, like the grub borer and lang gim."  ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Mindar - "Kisu pointed overhead. "See the mindar," he said. We looked up and saw a brightly plumaged, short-winged, sharp-billed bird. It was yellow and red. "That is a forest bird," said Kisu. The mindar is adapted for short, rapid flights, almost spurts, its wings beating in sudden flurries, hurrying it from branch to branch, for camouflage in flower trees, and for drilling the bark of such trees for larvae and grubs." 
~Explorers of Gor, page 282~

Parrot - "In the level of the emergents there live primarily birds, in particular parrots, long-billed fleers, and needle-tailed lits."   ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Tarn - "Then I was cowering, awe-stricken, in a great winged shadow, and an immense tarn, his talons extended like gigantic steel hooks, his wings sputtering fiercely in the air, hung above me, motionless except for the beating of his wings; The tarn dropped to the roof of the cylinder and regarded us with his bright black eyes; these birds are sometimes spoken of as Brothers of the wind."   ~Tarnsman of Gor, page 51~

Tarn, jungle - "A rare gloriously plumaged jungle tarn from the tropical reaches of Cartius."
~Assassin of Gor, page 368~

Tarn, racing - "The racing tarn, interestingly, is an extremely light bird; two men can lift one; even its beak is narrower and lighter than the beak of a common tarn or war tarn; its wings are commonly broader and shorter than those of other tarns, permitting a swifter take off and providing a capacity for extremely abrupt turns and shifts in flight; they cannot carry a great deal of weight and the riders, as might be expected, are small men, usually of low caste, pugnacious and aggressive." ~Assassin of Gor, page 144~

Tibit - "I heard the cry of sea birds, broad-winged gulls and the small, stick-legged tibits, pecking in the sand for tiny mollusks."   ~Hunters of Gor, page 247~

Tindel - "Brightly plumaged bird living in the second level of the rainforest near Schendi."
~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Tufted fisher - "Along the river, of course, many other species of birds may be found, such as jungle gants, tufted fishers and ring-necked and yellow-legged waders. Also in the ground zone are varieties of snake, such as the ost and hith, and numerous species of insects. "  ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Ul - "Also, at night, crossing the bright disks of Gor's three moons might occasionally be seen the silent, predatory shadow of the ul, a giant pterodactyl ranging far from its native swamps in the delta of the Vosk."
~Outlaw of Gor, page 26~

Umbrella - "In the lower portion of the canopies, too, can be found heavier birds, such as the ivory-billed woodpecker and the umbrella bird."  ~Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Ushindi Fisher - "His head was surmounted by an elaborate headdress, formed largely from the long, white, curling feathers of the Ushindi fisher, a long-legged, wading bird. "  ~Explorers of Gor, ppage 326~

Tumit - "I saw one of the tumits, a large, flightless bird whose hooked beak, as long as my forearm, attested only too clearly to its gustatory habits; I lifted my shield and grasped the long spear, but it did not turn in my direction; it passed, unaware." ~Nomads of Gor, page 2~

Veminium bird - "Perhaps in one of these times, due to no fault of Mistress he was charmed by her voice, as by the songs of the veminium bird."   ~Magicians of Gor, ppage 363~

Waders, ring-necked - "Along the river, of course, many other species of birds may be found, such as jungle gants, tufted fishers and ring-necked and yellow-legged waders."  Explorers of Gor, page 311~

Zad - "I heard, a short time later, wings, the alighting of one or more large birds. Such birds, broad-winged, black and white, from afar, follow the marches to Klima; their beaks, yellowish, narrow, are long and slightly hooked at the end, useful for probing and tearing. The birds scattered, squawking, as a Kaiila sped past. The birds are called zads." ~Tribesmen of Gor, page 232~

Zadit - "The zadit is a small, tawny-feathered, sharp-billed bird. It feeds on insects. When sand flies and other insects, emergent after rains, infest kaiila, they frequently alight on the animals, and remain on them for some hours, hunting insects." ~Tribesmen of Gor, page 152~

Zarlit - "I did see a large, harmless zarlit fly, purple, about two feet long with four translucent wings, spanning about a yard, humming over the surface of the water, then alighting and, on its padlike feet, daintily picking its way across the surface." ~Raiders of Gor, page 5~
