The messenger hawk, also known as dragon hawk, is a moderately-sized raptor indigenous to the jungles of the Fire Nation that can be used to transport message scrolls carried in attached canisters, with different colored ribbons used to indicate the importance or intended receiver.   These hawks are regularly used to deliver messages throughout the Fire Nation, its colonies, and the Earth Kingdom, and can be bought at post offices, such as the one located in Fire Fountain City, which have large roosting towers for the birds.
