With all do respect to you land lovers i like my wings. But i'm worried do i count within the furry community. On the one hand my persona is an anthropomorphic bird, on the other i have feathers not fur

The furry fandom is more about liking anthropomorpism and general animalistic features like tails and snouts (tho one doesn't have to have all of them) than fur specifically. Consider synths, for example, which are an accepted furry species despite not having fur, not even being animals or even biological creatures, and just kinda being shaped like some sort of anthro animal but not any species in particular. Birds definitely fit.

Yeah, synths are definitely on the edge of what'd be considered furry. They're usually draconic or reptile-adjacent in style (from the many I've seen), but there's no hard and fast rule to what a synth looks like.

All part of the fun!
