I am working on the ancestral birrin family unit for the book.  Matriarch-led polyandrous packs is the current thinking!  Females tend to be larger and stronger, whiles males are lighter but far  more nimble. Males are depicted with their display wings raised.

Beautiful! How often would the display wings be used normally?

Depends on the male, but they form a part of expressiveness so they may be lightly flapped often

Another example of your impressive attention to detail and outside-the-box approach to sentient alien design!

In "modern times" I can see a compound/small village built around a small cabal of matriarchs, running the town and keeping things in line. But it's mostly young males and females, with lots of children running about. The older, beta males leave and join the bachelor life, such as it is, living out of caravans and other vehicles, trying to land a cushy spot at another town.

Matriach-led polyamorous packs sounds rad af

So thats where the Birrin equivalent to Mr. Miyagi is hanging out, only its not just life skills (or whatever the protagonist needs to learn), it’s also girl advice.

have you given up on the idea of "males" basically being young females, and the gender binary really about age?

Yes I dropped the sequential hermaphrodite idea. I was unable to find a good animal model that suited the story I wanted to tell
