Flying/Winged Shifters/Shifting (58 books)

Myths, legends, and stories about people who transform into flying/winged animals (including mythological creatures), or flying/winged animals that transform into people. This includes ravens, crows, owls, hawks, falcons, and other birds, and dragons.

Please don't add transformations including winged insects - they can be added here: Insect/Invertebrate Shifters/Shifting

Please don't add books that are retellings of particular fairy tales that already have their own lists. Instead, see:
The Wild Swans/The Six Swans Retellings
Swan Lake Retellings
Children of Lir Across Genres
Swan Maiden, Crane Wife, and other similar fairy tales
(Fairy tale tellings/retellings that don't have their own separate list are fine).

No paranormal romance (PNR) genre or erotica, please - there are lots of other lists for those. (Books that contain romance are fine).

For other shapeshifting lists, see:
Sea/River/Lake Shifters (Water Shifters)
Bear Shifters/Shifting
Deer Shifters/Shifting
Kitsune in Books
Horse Shifters/Shifting
