Wild Bird (The Little Prince)

The wild birds are a species of spaceborne birds, whose migration routes take them past asteroid B 612.

Biology
Wild birds are bird-like spaceborne creatures, immune to the vacuum of space and somehow able to propel themselves through it with their wings alone. They will continue on their migration even if something were to latch onto them, such as ropes being thrown around them. Flocks of wild birds are strong enough to carry organisms the size of Human children off of surfaces that have around 1g of gravity.

History
During a migration of the wild birds, they passed by a house-sized asteroid known as B 612. When they passed, a young humanoid on the asteroid, known only as the little prince, threw ropes around them and used them to haul him off B 612 and transport him to the closest asteroid, asteroid 325, whose sole inhabitant was an elderly humanoid who claimed to be a king of the universe.
