Any avian species can acquire this feat. It ties into their flight or fight instinct. Any time there is a chance of the PC being surprised, as if by an ambush or by a trap, they can stack their initiative bonus to the DC. If the DC is successful, the PC can choose to either make 1 attack, or take flight and move half of their flying speed immediately. If the DC is unsuccessful, the PC instinctively flies their full flying speed away from their current location. This feat can be acquired at third level. At eighth level it can be used twice per long rest, 3 at eleventh level, and 4 at eighteenth level. At twentieth level, it becomes automatic, in any situation.
