birdwoman
Woman with wings
A birdwoman is a woman who works with birds—keeping, training, or caring for them.
The term parallels birdman and applies to falconers, aviary keepers, or bird handlers: The birdwoman at the sanctuary rehabilitates injured raptors.
In fantasy and mythology, a birdwoman may be a female creature with avian features—wings, feathers, or the ability to fly.
