I've updatedthe Bird Maiden Working Draft with some logical-seeming additions.
I don't feel the need to tie them to other SRD avians, since they're rather humanoids that can shapeshift into avians.
But the main reason I picked the larger bonus for Wis is precisely because they're divine casters --- they might already have a good Wis, but they will also benefit the most from the boost.
Whew, the CC swanmay gets quite a few boosts, doesn't it?
Anyway, let's get this settled and then deal with the SQs. Did I convince you at all?
Are you thinking of examples outside lycanthropes?
Gee, and I thought you usually liked to ramp monsters up a lot!I just don't think we can assume they'll have amazing base stats before the template, so I don't mind giving them a hefty Wis boost.
But I could compromise with +2 to everything but Con. It's not super-flavorful, though.

Are those for the swanmay or bird maiden? Anyway, I will go along with your proposed ability bonuses except for Int. The minimum listed doesn't justify it, I think.
So we are set with Str +2, Dex +6, Wis +4, Cha +2?
Ready for SQs?
