"The wailer bird, the three-footed noor, the dancing spin…"
"Uh, Kata, what are you doing there?"
"The shiff-shiff, the wide-winged rok, the diver… Oh. I was trying to remember all the birds from back on Birren."
―Kata Akuna and Greez Dritus — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[1]

The shiff-shiff was a type of bird that the human Kata Akuna watched while living on[1] the Inner Rim planet[2] Birren.[1] In 9 BBY,[3] Akuna later listed the shiff-shiff while trying to remember all the birds from Birren when she was on board the Stinger Mantis, a luxury yacht that she had joined the crew of after leaving Birren and losing both of her parents. Greez Dritus, the owner of the Mantis, overheard Akuna and, having never been to Birren, asked for more information on the birds when she explained what she was doing. Akuna then put off the discussion till later.[1]

Behind the scenes

The shiff-shiff was mentioned in an ambient conversation in the 2023 Respawn Entertainment video game, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.[1]
