[QUOTE="QuietBrowser, post: 6934413, member: 6855057"] To put it plain and simple? They bore me. I'm not a fan of bird-folk in general, but the Kenku, with their "we're a race of cursed crows who take out our rage of being stripped of flight by stealing from everyone" fluff, are just... really, really bland. They feel too one-dimensional to me, and don't even give me inspiration for reworking them entirely the way kobolds, orcs and goblins have done in the past (see: my Malebolge setting, where kobolds are cursed dragon-spawn, orcs are failed super-soldiers made from mutated elves, and goblins are mutant orcs who regained their magic at the cost of their physical might). So, yeah, glad for the folk who actively like them, but I honestly couldn't care less about them either way, because I can easily think of other races both Forgotten Realms specific and multiversial I would have much rather seen in that spot.
