The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

An avian native to the planet of Felucia, this creature had a bulbous body and translucent, pale skin.[1]

One of these avians took flight in front of Jedi Knight Aayla Secura during her reconnaissance[1] en route to Niango. The flying creature caught Aayla Secura's eye,[2] thus leaving her unable to defend herself when Commander Bly and his troops opened fire, cutting her down in accordance with Order 66.[1]

Behind the scenes

"Late in the development of the sequence George decided he wanted to add the equivalent of a flying bird into the sequence. We ended up recycling a creature from one of the other sequences -- a peko peko. We then took a Felucia glass/GummiBear shader and applied it to the bird's geometry so we would have this gelatinous flying bird thing. You're still using the same textures but with a weird translucent characteristic on top of it."
―Computer Graphics Supervisor Patrick Myers describes the origin of the Felucian bird.[2]

Since the CGI model for this creature was created using the existing peko peko model from Episode I,[3] and filling it with the same blue substance in the body of a gelagrub, Star Wars Insider refers to this species as the "gummy peko peko," but this is probably just a production nickname and not necessarily an in-universe name.
