Avite

The Avites (Root word "Avi", meaning "Bird") were any kind of modern-world bird that was no bigger than 3 feet in height and 15 feet in wingspan. One of the major branches of Avites were the Avite-Mellbites, whose ancestor is Melon Bird.

Certain larger Avites, such as hawks and eagles (and currently branches of the Avite-Mellbites), were the predators of Caytites for a very long time until the Caytites took to space. Melon Bird came around as a mutation between plant and bird, which was the last species to reach space. They are quite solitary and quiet.
