"However, mastering a transfiguration spell such as "Avifors" can be both rewarding and useful."
— The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 on the Avifors Spell[src]

Avifors (AH-vih-fors) is a transformation spell which changes small objects or beasts into birds or flocks of birds in a burst of electric blue light.

This charm is learned in the First and revised in the Second-Year Transfiguration Class (or so, it is by Professor Minerva McGonagall).

Avifors should not be confused with the Bird-Conjuring Charm, whose incantation is a base in the etymology of this transfigurative charm.
