{{Tab}}A recent transplant to New York City from a quiet Chicago Suburb, Ducky is pretty much homeless, but doesn't consider herself that unfortunate. She is often found wherever birds gather - parks, ponds, pigeon coups on rooftops where she shouldn't be. Recently she has become rather disillusioned with the rather lack-luster greeting of New York, and is starting to hear rumors about mutants her age vanishing.  Rather than continue to risk it on the streets, she desperately wants to get to Xavier's... that's a safe place, right?

{{Tab}}At current, Ducky can communicate with all manner of avian life on earth, as long as she is near enough.  She does not need to touch the birds, she just prefers to be close enough for it to be considered conversational distance.  The communication is telepathic, and can be carried out entirely in Ducky's mind, but she prefers to voice her side aloud.
'''Avian Communication'''
At current, Ducky can communicate with all manner of avian life on earth, as long as she is near enough.  She does not need to touch the birds, she just prefers to be close enough for it to be considered conversational distance.  The communication is telepathic, and can be carried out entirely in Ducky's mind, but she prefers to voice her side aloud.  Either as a side effect, or due to the curiosity of the birds, Ducky tends to gather a flock around her the longer she is outside and interacting with birds, they will start to gather around her.
 
'''Bright Birds'''
If she is around them long enough, and in physical contact with them on a daily basis, the birds will gradually gain intelligence, ultimately reaching about the average intelligence of a 10-year-old human. They don't automatically have an education, but they will be better able to understand and communicate with her. To reach that level takes months of constant contact with Ducky, and the effect is so subtle that she doesn't even realize it is happening. While the build up is slow, the decrease is rapid - within one week of being out of constant contact with Ducky, the bird will return to average avian intelligence.  If Ducky is out of sorts, or has not been around humans much, then this part of her power falters, and she herself tends to be a bit more bird-brained than average.
 
While the average bird won't be able to learn to speak English aloud, if there is a bird which is capable of mimicking human voice (such as parrots), then they would be able to speak English with the intelligence of a human (eventually).
 
'''And then some...'''
Yet to be revealed.

Caution: Talks to Birds
Introduction

xxxxxA recent transplant to New York City from a quiet Chicago Suburb, Ducky is pretty much homeless, but doesn't consider herself that unfortunate. She is often found wherever birds gather - parks, ponds, pigeon coups on rooftops where she shouldn't be. Recently she has become rather disillusioned with the rather lack-luster greeting of New York, and is starting to hear rumors about mutants her age vanishing. Rather than continue to risk it on the streets, she desperately wants to get to Xavier's... that's a safe place, right?

Now enrolled at Xavier's, Ducky is finally settling into some semblance of normalcy and getting back to school. She has aspirations of being involved in Environmental policy and advocacy, and hopes to go to university for a related field. Eventually, anyway. For now she needs to play catch-up with her high school education, while trying to make friends who don't necessarily have feathers. Although those are good, too.

History

xxxxxRaised by two white collar parents in a quiet Chicago Suburb, Megan has lead a rather sheltered life. Some time around 7th grade, she started showing an inclination to talk to birds as though they could understand her, and she them. At first it was just her pet lovebirds, but in time she was talking to any avian that would sit still long enough to greet. And increasing numbers of birds were following her around...

By her 16th Birthday, Megan's parents had become increasingly concerned for their daughter's sanity, and got rid of her beloved love birds. The afternoon of her birthday, she returned home to find men in white coats waiting for her - her parents were having her institutionalized. Rather than risk her freedom, the young mutant ran away, and has been running since.

Now, at 17, she has landed in New York City with little more than the clothes on her back. In an attempt to avoid detection - as she is now a runaway child - she has adopted the moniker Ducky.

Powers

Avian Communication At current, Ducky can communicate with all manner of avian life on earth, as long as she is near enough. She does not need to touch the birds, she just prefers to be close enough for it to be considered conversational distance. The communication is telepathic, and can be carried out entirely in Ducky's mind, but she prefers to voice her side aloud. Either as a side effect, or due to the curiosity of the birds, Ducky tends to gather a flock around her the longer she is outside and interacting with birds, they will start to gather around her.

Bright Birds If she is around them long enough, and in physical contact with them on a daily basis, the birds will gradually gain intelligence, ultimately reaching about the average intelligence of a 10-year-old human. They don't automatically have an education, but they will be better able to understand and communicate with her. To reach that level takes months of constant contact with Ducky, and the effect is so subtle that she doesn't even realize it is happening. While the build up is slow, the decrease is rapid - within one week of being out of constant contact with Ducky, the bird will return to average avian intelligence. If Ducky is out of sorts, or has not been around humans much, then this part of her power falters, and she herself tends to be a bit more bird-brained than average.

While the average bird won't be able to learn to speak English aloud, if there is a bird which is capable of mimicking human voice (such as parrots), then they would be able to speak English with the intelligence of a human (eventually).

And then some... Yet to be revealed.
