slavic mythology: sirin, alkonost and gamayun
The Alkonost is a legendary woman-headed bird in Slavic folklore. Alkonost is more likely an individual character, as was noted in some legends about this bird.
Sirin is a mythological creature of Rus' legends, with the head of a beautiful woman and the body of a bird (usually an owl), borrowed from the siren of the Greek mythology. According to myth, the Sirin lived in Iriy or around the Euphrates River.
Gamayun is a prophetic bird of Russian folklore. It is a symbol of wisdom and knowledge and lives on an island in the mythical east, close to paradise.

Is that a Sirin? Is there an Alkonost to go with her?
Sure, why not.

The Alkonost and the Sirin are two sides of the same coin. Both are beautiful women with the bodies of birds and both have magical voices of unimaginable beauty. The Alkonost guards good fortune by day and the Sirin by night. You cannot separate the two, because one is simply the alter ego of the other
ALKONOST
Her voice is supposed to be so beautiful that she can make you forget anything that hurts you. She is said to sing about the beauties of paradise for the saints so that they don’t give in to despair and temptation. Other stories claim that wars have actually ended due to her voice
SIRIN
Birds with black feathers are often attributed as being conduits between this world and the other side, bringing messages from the dead. It is no surprise then that the Sirin has dark plumage like a raven or a crow. Given that she is just the Alkonist’s alter ego, it could be argued that it is her divine duty to punish the wicked and usher the dead to their afterlife. She is, after all, still a guardian of good fortune

Angel of Sorrow, Mikhail Nesterov, 1900.
When the work was in process, Mikhail Nesterov was hopelessly in love with the young Lyolya — Yelena Prakhova, the daughter of the Russian art historian Adrian Prakhov, who headed the building committee of the Saint Volodymyr’s Cathedral in Kyiv. It was her image that became a source of inspiration for the artist. He depicted his beloved in the form of Alkonost, a mythical bird of paradise. The picture is distinguished by a cold and restrained color palette, an accentuated paleness of the face, and a humble and slightly tense posture.

The Alkonost is obtained with Resplendent Feathers found in the Excitatron 6000. I had 2 feathers and found the 3rd for relatively cheap on the MB.
