Whisper birds were energetic avians native to the moon Yavin 4. They were known for their radiant plumage and gained their name due to their seemingly noiseless flight. They used their dexterous tongue to emit their sweet, low-pitched song or call.

Whisper birds were at home in the trees and water of the jungle moon. They would go quiet when they desired food, which consisted of fish and weeds, as well nectar funnels that grew on vines. As with many other certain-sized small animals native to Yavin 4, they were prey to stintarils and other highly dangerous predators, like aquatic gundarks.

Introduced whisper bird populations existed on Coruscant and Null.

Following the Battle of Yavin, the collector Breac Slaus tasked a group of spacers to hunt and kill an unreasonable number of whisper birds.^[4]
