Last Friday I picked up Dragon - Monster Ecologies on a whim. I was looking through it and saw the Kenku listed, so I started reading. In the "Birds of a Feather..." sidebar Kenku are described as "flightless pilferers." When did they become flightless? Their original appearance in the 1st Ed. Fiend Folio has them listed as fliers. I don't have access to any 2nd Ed. books, or the current MMIII, so I don't know what those say.
So, when did this change, and why? I kind of like the idea of Kenku flying, stooping* to snatch a prized object. It makes them a bit scarier and a bit more of a threat.
*Yes, I mean "stoop," as in to descend rapidly like a bird persuing its prey.
