I mean if they hear the words first, cool they can mimic it, but if the transcribed it from a scroll their out of luck. Sorcerors often just copy other magic users to cast a spell or improvise, Warlocks Kenku can hear their Patrons speak the spells to them when they gain access to new spells, Divine Casters could hear their Gods whisper the words into their minds when praying for spells (actually that could be cool a Kenku cleric who casts spells by mimicing the literal voice of their Gods),  but Wizards don't just get spells handed to them, so outside of being tutored by a Master for life, Kenku make poor wizards, worse then Orcs. Wealest race done in the VGTM, most races are awesome in the book, I can even get over the -2 Intelligence and -2 Strength for Kobolds (its still possible to get a Kobold with 20 Strength and an Orc with 20 intelligence so their just disablities you can over come by high level), but the Kenku fluff, especially the lack of creativity and inablity to speak outside of mimicry, and the lack of any kind of combat enhancing abilities, aside from +2 Dex and +1 Wisdom. A dual weilding Kobold Ranger with a Mastiff companion is in a position where both Ranger and Beast Companion benifit from Pack Tactics and is kind of awesome, heck the Kobold can ride the Mastiff! Heck Pack Tactics even makes a Paladin Kobold who can cast Find Steed for a Mastiff Steed kind of Awesome, even if uses Strength attacks! And an Orc if your careful can make a wicked Gish Wizard. So yeah even the Kobold and Orc are better then the Kenku.</blockquote>
