Again, spiritual powers from beyond the something! In short- it all deals with the nature of the Oddworldian supernatural, which we have very little real info on. Maybe the birds are only an illusion created by the mind to comprehend the uncomprehendable- anybody here watch Babylon 5? It's like with the Vorlons when they aren't in their suits- everybody sees what they personally believe angels to look like, and atheists see nothing. If that's how it is with the special portal soul birdy things, too, it would explain why there are all these bird portals inside factories- only those that believe in them can see them, so Gluks and Sligs are oblivious. Mud slaves can't even see them until Abe comes and, I dunno, "reawakens" their faith in the spiritual side of things. It's kind of metaphorical and dumb, I know, but it's the best I can come up with.
And what the heck is a Skrikit!?
