"Emergency ANN Aftershow" ... Lynzee lied last week. There WAS a show today. I can never trust her again.
As for how bird people might reproduce: female birds have ovaries and a uterus (IRL). The egg is fertilized before it gets to the uterus, just like mammals. The uterus is where it gets its shell. The cool part (IMO) is that it then flips 180° (for most species) in the uterus before it comes out. The real question would be how a female "delivers" the fertilized egg. Delivering it in human form would be problematic with a human pelvis. It would make more sense to lay it in bird form, but maybe there are some details we don't really need to imagine. It requires a level of suspension of disbelief nowhere near as complete as in the omegaverse, which is saying a lot for a story in which birds can turn into people. |

The books do establish that they do have to sit on their eggs in bird form, though noble ladies will often have a servant do that for them. Generally the hatchlings start out in bird form and only learn to take human form after a year or two. |
