Overview

The official fact file compares the Thunderbird to a large albatross. Its iridescent plumage reflects the colors of the sky.

It can sense danger and generate storms. Its tail feathers serve as wand cores, which exposes the creature to poaching.

Newt's Thunderbird companion is named Frank, and the Ministry classifies the beast as XXXX.
