The Diricawl is a plump, fluffy-feathered and flightless bird. It has the ability to disappear and reappear elsewhere as a means of escaping danger, similar to apparation. Muggles are aware of the existence of the Diricawl as a dodo (a large, extinct, flightless bird). However, since Muggles are not aware of its ability to teleport at will, they believe that they have hunted the dodo to extinction. The International Confederation of Wizardshas not seen fit to reveal that the animal still exists, since it seems to have raised Muggle awareness of the consequences of slaying their fellow creatures indiscriminately.
