Does this count? It has feathers

I wholeheartedly support this idea.

yep this is good

I want to clip angel's wing and leave them stranded.

How do avian cultures even work? They are so monster-like, hard to believe they could build a civilization.

I imagine in similar ways that IRL bird cultures work. Think massive cliff rookery cities, think almost solitary bonded pairs hunting across wastes, think corvid social structures on a tribal or even societal level.

Gryphs and acherais.

Does anybody use them?

Obligatory. I'm thoroughly disappointed no one's posted it already

well as a bird and speculative evolution enthusiast I am of the humble opinion that corvids will be the next civilized sapient species after humans are gone. I f you ignore the part about them being "monstrous" it's easy to see how a human( smartest animal in the world) and a bird (known for their intelligence) could become civilized. Even though they are migratory many birds (such as crows) do have a primitive culture including regional dialects between members of the same species.

I was thinking of building an Avian Federation in a fantasy setting. But not sure if it could make any sense.
