"Birds? Of course we do." Widow Harper eyed Alexis as if she thought the harpy was a little bit mad. Birds could be found everywhere, of course! "But they couldn't get in through the net 'less they were birdfolk like you, and my boys would've seen 'em then."

We get a priest of Takthen in over the winter to fireproof everything, though, and they wave around a lot of smelly smoke... But of course you can cast your spell, young man. 'Specially if it'll help you find what's eatin' the peaches."
