"Good morning. Today we shall learn the transfiguration spell known as Avifors. Avifors will allow you to transform small objects - such as the parts of this statue - into birds."
— Minerva McGonagall[src]

The Avifors Spell[3] (Avifors)[1] is a transfiguration spell that transforms small objects into birds.[1]

Nature

"Transfiguration is some of the most difficult magic to practise effectively. It is extremely difficult, for example, to transform something non-living into something that is alive. However, mastering a transfiguration spell such as 'Avifors', which will transform small inanimate objects into birds, can be both rewarding and useful."
— Miranda Goshawk, Chapter 7 of The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2[src]
