Making up one of the three Promised Islands, you will find the Avian birdfolk. They are located by going W from the coordinates 13, 67, but actually having finished the corresponding Bottle Quests is also required to proceed into the area. The sea section does contain ship that you can combat, but at this point in your adventuring career, the reward isn't worth the effort or time.
As with the other race islands you are required to complete a series of fetch quests in order to completely explore the island, including battling Elite and beyond level creatures. Once completed the island does provide an excellent location to farm selected pieces of elite versions of Aqua Shellplate and Oracle armor.
The drop rate for these creatures is pretty low. I suggest you wait until you 1 round them prior to starting any of the quests, as well as an Elite Hunting Day for the Elite armor quests.
The Potion dropped by the inhabitants of the Avian Hideout, Red Bull, allows a character to fly for 2 minutes and can be stacked. i.e. you can consume an unlimited number of them to fly for as long as you need safely. Equipping an item that allows flight, or having at least one Pegasus Wing in your inventory, is preferable.
Avian Hideout's small patch of Desert was replaced by a Portal the a new area, Forgotten Luxuries. The portal only appears if you have finished the last of the Avian B quest line of the Promised Island Quests. You also have to kill the Grandmaster in that room for the Portal to appear.
