Kirinki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kirinki are fictional birds from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Kirinki were one of the many species of birds found in Númenor, and doubtless Aman, that were not known in Middle-earth. The kirinki were said to be smaller than wrens, with bright scarlet feathers, and voices so high that they could hardly be heard by Men. A pair of these birds were given to Aldarion and Erendis by the Teleri of Tol Eressëa on their wedding day.
