Despite their height, and their feathers making them appear heavier than they are, they are far slimmer and lighter than they appear at first glance. Their bones are similar to the birds on other planets in that their bones are hollow so they're able to glide in the air, or fly short distances, for short periods of time if necessary. (It is probably still awkward to try and pick them up, though, because of the general height differences.) | Despite their height, and their feathers making them appear heavier than they are, they are far slimmer and lighter than they appear at first glance.

It's also good to note that they don't necessarily wear a ton of clothing. The feathers do a lot of that for them. They might be tall, but given the fact of them having lesser mass than they seem to under the feathers, regular clothes tend to weigh them down and overheat them. And not even just for flight. It can cause them to move slower, tire easier, and it can be a bit distracting in turn. They do wear it on duty, but it is always a much, much lighter, and very breathable material than maybe most starfleet officers wear to keep discomfort and distraction to a minimum. It rarely covers their arms so what they're wearing doesn't restrict their range of motion or their wings (so a bit like a vest with wing holes in the back.) And off-duty they keep it equally light on the typical clothing if they wear it at all for whatever reason they might choose to. | It's also good to note that they don't necessarily wear a ton of clothing.

They are however known to wear a shirt collar by itself on their neck to be able to show the pips, and more importantly their combadge. They sometimes switch that up with an over the shoulder sash or a vest to mix up the style. | They are however known to wear a shirt collar by itself on their neck to be able to show the pips, and more importantly their combadge.
