Babelbird

This tiny mechanical bird was created by a gnomish researcher and imbued with arcane power.

Speaking the bird's command word activates it and causes it to begin producing soft clicking and whirring sounds. The babelbird has a fly speed of 20ft and a ground speed of 10ft.

Once activated, the babelbird has the following benefits:

• You can tap the babelbird twice to record up to 1 minute of sound, tapping it twice again to stop recording early. During the recording, you can command the bird to remain stationary, or to fly or walk within 60ft from you. Creating a new recording in this way erases any previous one stored.
• You can tap the babelbird once to replay the recording out loud, tapping it a second time to stop it early. Pressing and holding your finger to the babelbird while it's replaying the recording will pause the recording until you release your finger from it.
• You can speak the babelbird's command word as an action to cast the comprehend languages (spoken language only) spell from it. The bird will speak the translation of any spoken language in Common for the duration of the spell. This property of the babelbird can't be used again until the next dawn.

The babelbird can be placed into stasis at will, stopping the clicking noises and temporarily deactivating it.
