Kirinki

Originally from Aman, the kirinki is a tiny scarlet bird with an extremely high chirp that was one of the most beloved songbirds of Númenor. After the Downfall in S.A. 3319, knowledge of these wondrous singers became confined to verse, illustrations in books, and works of art depicting the little creatures. Some of the Faithful who escaped from Númenor, however, brought their pet kirinkir with them. Whether any survived or thrived is another matter, although there have been rumors that wild kirinkir can be found in Harlindon and Eryn Laegol, and that Radagast the Brown has a pair at his home at Rhosgobel (near the southwestern eaves of Mirkwood).
