A fly/land toggle for auto fly classes would be legit. Some spells and scenarios make it viable to fight why walking not flying. From a rp perspective Ive also wondered how an avian can't land since he's got feet.
Fly toggle
All points made make perfect sense to me. I mean even real birds have feet, let alone avians who are mostly similar to a human anyway.
Agreed on this one.
Avains DO NOT have feet.
Avians have been and always will be feet-less.
Not sure if those are jokes, I can't detect over the internet... in the event they aren't, the help file suggests it, "Many avians still walk (or fly) throughout the realms..." The physical part isn't specified, and I believe Anume clarified in a post I wasn't able to find, that as long as the description adheres to what IS in the help file, the rest is relatively up to the player's discretion within reason.
Again if that was sarcasm, ignore. I couldn't tell, lol.
I don't see any feet. One on the left is a DK.

Damn it! Mali you cupboard lovin, elfcookin, no good dirty loincloth sniffer! The one on the right was my old ninja
