Nope, none of the above. Here, I will give you all one last hint: A black bird, who is also a ballet star. There! I practically gave you the answer! See how nice I am? Now, let's see who gets it first...

Ninja'd.
I still think half of the birds I posted fit the riddle better than a swan, as swans trumpet their calls, and this do not create what would be called birdsong.

Multiple working answers doesn't help either.

And here we go... Next poll! One of my personal favorites, if not my actual favorite, it's...
The Create Your Own Laguz Poll
Pretty awesome, huh? Simply put, choose a species of Laguz from the official Laguz List, and build your character from the ground up. Characters must be creative, dynamic, interesting, and balanced, to name a few. The best character will win, and feature in UB as a recruitable character, when you visit the hidden village of Laguz, known as Avalon Glade.
Here is the official list of possible Laguz.
Tiger White Tiger Cheetah Royal Cheetah Lion White Lion Royal Lion Leopard Snow Leopard Fox Snow Fox Royal Fox Wolf Timber Wolf Silver Wolf Hawk Great Hawk Raven Blue Raven Eagle Gold Eagle Ancient Serpent* Lava Serpent* Behemoth* True Dragon*
* Legendary Class Laguz. These Laguz are overwhelmingly powerful, but require large open spaces to transform. As such, they are proficient in fighting in human form, and have various other combat abilities. In Laguz form, their power far outstrips even most Manaketes. Ancient Serpents are flying serpents, not sea serpents. Behemoths look like the Behemoths from the Tales Of series, specifically Tales of the World, in Laguz form.
Hint: You have already met one Lava Serpent Laguz and one True Dragon Laguz.
Now, let the voting begin!

Hmm, I think I'll stay out of this one. I think I'll try my hand at the Emerald Weapon poll, though.

I have an idea, but I don't know Laguz naming conventions or much about the Laguz in general, as the only FE games I have played are SS and Awakening.
Without further ado, meet [Placeholder Name].
Name: [Placeholder Name] Type: Behemoth Appearance (humanoid): 6'3" and extremely muscular physique. Has key lime pie green hair that flows in a mane along with a small pair of horns that sprout from his forehead. He also has a tail covered in a light brown fur that has a small green axe at the end. Green tattoos are scattered across his body in rings. These glow when he's angry. His feet too are replaced with black hooves. Appearance (Behemoth): Brown fur covers his body, but green hair sprouts on the top of his head in a line that goes down his back. His horns are also slightly bent upwards in the middle, and his claws on his hands are green. Personality: Easily angered and boisterous, he prefers the company of men to his own kind. He also likes to get drunk, but he's a softy when he's not sober. Prefers fighting with an axe that he carries on his back, and he polishes it daily. You don't want to be near him when he's venting though. However, when he enters his behemoth form, his angry personality is replaced by a much gentler, docile demeanor. In this form, he dislikes combat and loves to play with children and animals. Biography: I'm not entirely sure, as I don't know how he'll fit into the story.

But just so you know, a Behemoth in his/her Laguz form is like 50, 60 feet tall at least. Playing with children would uh... Probably not be wise in that form.

I assumed 30 feet tall, but the actual height works out well.
Pray, could you tell me how he and the Laguz would become involved along with naming conventions so I could complete the application?

Er... You mean what kind of names do the Laguz use? Well... Any. I mean, most of the names Laguz commonly use are more sophisticated than common human names, but... You still could have a Behemoth named Bob. The choice is up to you. He's your character, name him anything you want.

I 'Wheel' in the the nominee Calleria. She is a blue raven. Growing up she was always enthralled by stories of epic wars of old. As a result her life long dream has been to play a pivotal in such a conflict. She has a particular fascination for tacticians and that is the role she would like to play. She even has the skills of a tactician and grandmaster in her repertoire. She is very intelligent, but is still young and naïve. She has yet to experience the carnage of war first hand, and it remains to be seen wether she can handle it...

Finished it.
Name: Kolskeggr Type: Behemoth Appearance (humanoid): 6'3" and extremely muscular physique. Has key lime pie green hair that flows in a mane along with a small pair of horns that sprout from his forehead. He also has a tail covered in a light brown fur that has a small green axe at the end. Green tattoos are scattered across his body in rings. These glow when he's angry. His feet too are replaced with black hooves. Appearance (Behemoth): Brown fur covers his 60 foot body, but green hair sprouts on the top of his head in a line that goes down his back. His horns are also slightly bent upwards in the middle, and his claws on his hands are green. Personality: Easily angered and boisterous, he prefers the company of men to his own kind. He also likes to get drunk, but he's a softy when he's not sober. Prefers fighting with an axe that he carries on his back, and he polishes it daily. You don't want to be near him when he's venting though. However, when he enters his behemoth form, his angry personality is replaced by a much gentler, docile demeanor. In this form, he dislikes combat and loves to play with children and animals, even though they are all terrified of him. He likes dueling and drinking contests, but has never lost either except to the elders in the village. He's a bit stupid too, but makes up for it in "charming" personality and fighting skills. Biography: Growing up in a small, caring family, Kolskeggr grew up fairly normally. He was always given great attention by the elders because of his powerful transformation, and thus had little time for anything else besides household chores and gathering supplies. In his adulthood, he's trying to make up for his lost childhood along with finally beating the elders in a drinking contest. Some of the people in the village tend to avoid him because of his rash behavior, but they generally know that he means no harm.

My bad. Calleria's appearance: 5' even with a slight frame, midnight blue hair and wings, hair down to the upper tip of her wings, hair held back by a turquoise beaded headband. Raven form: same hight, wingspan 18'6", tail feathers 4'6" traditional raven shape, beak black, talons black. Does that sound good?
