So I stalked Serpentine Malfoy in the active list and saw she is a parseltongue, which had me thinking. If some wizards could talk to snakes, what's stopping us from having some wizards be able to talk to other animals? Like birds. It could be something that's not super common in the UK but maybe in another place of the world? Or something you can get with an against the odds card if it's something you're born with?

I also feel this sounds vaguely stupid but it's also interesting so xD
