 As a species, they tend to suffer very little in the way of mental illnesses. This may be partially due to the lack of pollution in their world or the long-standing cultural tradition of close-knit co-operation between all members of the species, not just the close family or fellow flock/tribe members. Because of this ability to communicate, and cooperate, (and at least partially due to their spiritual identities), they have developed a very good sense of intuition.
-They have a tendency toward a minor form of ESP. Mostly it's just an adaptation that allows them to better communicate with one another as their facial expressions are much subtler with a beak and feathers. So being able to get a slight feel for someone's mood or energy helps. It also makes them particularly good at getting a read on nature in their environments. It's not hard for most to look at a plant and know there's at least something wrong with it when there is. They interpret the ESP energy with the use of their very practiced intuition. To be clear, they cannot read minds, and they can't directly interpret emotions in most cases. But they might get an impression of someone's demeanor very quickly and have some level of understanding about it. Sometimes they do it with awareness because it can be useful. Other times it's very passive and they'll say things that unexpectedly, and unintentionally, resonate with what someone is feeling in a way that's very similar to if they'd gotten an empathic or telepathic impression of a situation.

Sometimes they do it with awareness because it can be useful. Other times it's very passive and they'll say things that unexpectedly resonate in a way that makes one think there's mind or emotion reading going on. To be clear, it is neither telepathy nor true empathic ability. They will be the first to admit that things are more complex than that and that sometimes their interpretations are wrong. But they might also get an accurate impression of someone very quickly and have a surprising level of understanding in turn.
